Hear from Our Graduates
I come from a Dutch-Surinamese family and, like many of us, have lived in various places. I have spent most of my life living in Washington, DC, and moved to Singapore at the beginning of 11th grade because of my parents’ work. I am now finishing up my last year as an AP student at 快播 American.听
Moving to a new school during the height of the pandemic was a challenging experience because it was difficult for me to integrate into the school community. However, over time I was able to find my place in school sports like football, which allowed me to connect with more people. I was able to develop a more global perspective through friends from different backgrounds, and these relationships will always be important to me.
After graduating, I plan to attend Utrecht University in the Netherlands, where I will study politics to help enact change on a broader scale.

Class of 2023
I am Indonesian and moved to Singapore in the fifth grade. Initially, I was placed in the English as an Additional Language (EAL) program, where I learned how to better communicate with classmates and teachers. I found EAL to be an opportunity to learn about the concept of belonging by interacting with others who were going through the same journey.
During my years at 快播 American, I sought opportunities to connect with others through sports, musicals, and clubs. I participated in various sports teams and learned the importance of cooperation, discipline, and perseverance. These qualities helped me prepare for my future and graduation. I plan to attend Syracuse University to study political science and law.
I believe that 快播 American has become an important part of my academic life and that the memories I have with friends and teachers will stay with me in college.
Charlotte Aninditta
Class of 2023
I am originally from India, but have spent my life as a third culture kid, living in countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates before moving to Singapore in 10th grade. Choosing to take both AP and IB classes, my time at 快播 American shaped me as a person, pushed me out of my comfort zone, and developed my leadership skills. I was able to engage in extracurricular activities such as being the chair of the Athletics Council, captain of the U19 touch rugby team, and founder of the iBusiness club.
As a blended pathway student, I was given the opportunity to choose academically challenging classes that will help me in college. The academic and college counseling team at 快播 supported me in preparing for my future after graduation. I will be attending Northeastern University in Boston to major in finance with the hopes of becoming a financial consultant.
The relationships formed with teachers and students at 快播 American will always be close to my heart.
