Then and Now
Then 1980
The 1980 Interim Semester program included trips to the Maldives, New Guinea, upriver Sarawak, Taman Negara, India, Nepal, and China. Service to the community became more of a priority at Singapore American School through the Social Services Club, and Interim Semester experiences increasingly included a service component.
Now 2021
Limited to groups of eight, Interim Semester was held locally for the very first time thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. Students focused on sustainable development goals and enjoyed experiences like raft building, creating artwork from natural dyes, exploring World War II-era bunkers, cycling trips, and even Chinatown tours focusing on life and society in Singapore during the 1920s.
