A TRADITION OF INNOVATION Singapore American School alumna Elaine Wales Koch remembers kampong villages, black and white bungalows, colorful Peranakan art, and a country on the verge of independence and rapid growth. In 1956, Elaine’s parents were part of a pioneering group that founded Singapore's first American school in a Rochalie Drive home. Over 60 years, SAS and Singapore have both grown into icons of innovation and progress. For Elaine and thousands of alumni across the globe, SAS and Singapore will always be home. The hallmarks of an SAS experience continue to be unparalleled possibilities, lifelong friendships, and a foundation for success and happiness.
