Principal’s Message

Ms. Ding Sooi Chong Principal
Let your child’s educational journey begins with us.

Message from the Principal

I am really honoured and feel very privileged to function as the Principal of Sanctus International School. We, at Sanctus, ensure high quality education which motivates and empowers our students to be lifelong learners and the productive members of the society. Albert Einstein once said, “Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think”. At Sanctus, our education system is the one that cater the individual needs of our students. We want all our students to achieve their full potential.

Success for all students is ensured at our school by the delivery of an enriching, child centred, balanced and structured curriculum and a whole school focus on student welfare that focuses on the positive recognition of student achievements. Teachers at Sanctus are highly qualified and experienced educators who are committed to supporting each student’s learning experience through quality instruction and guidance that addresses the needs of the individual child. Teachers work to provide students with differentiated support that address each student’s specific needs both academically and socially.

We firmly believe that the parents are their child’s first and most important teacher. Parents play a vital role in the education of their children. We happily welcome all our parents to take an active role in the education of their children and to be the active participants in our school life. We always strive to build strong parent teacher relationship which is very important for the academic success of our students. I would like the parents to know that my door is always open to discuss any concerns, questions, or ideas you may have regarding your child’s education.

Remember…… “the achievement of our students is built upon the partnership between students, parents, and teachers”. Through quality teaching, student support, and our commitment to extra-curricular activities, we create the building blocks for success that will give them an advantage in their later years. As your principal, I promise to ensure that your child achieves his or her very best. My commitment to our community is to lead the school with enthusiasm and passion to enable us to reach our goals. And most of all, every child will be valued and cared for. Let us work together to make Sanctus as the best school, it can be. We look forward to welcoming you to be part of our vibrant learning community.
