Almeida Family

We are the Almeida family from Portugal.

When we first arrived in Singapore our 2 daughters, 4 and 8 years old, did not speak English and it was their first time moving away from their home country, school, family and friends. We were all very excited and somewhat anxious about all the new things to discover and experience.

The language program and the friendly family environment that we found at EtonHouse was a fantastic help to get the girls comfortable and all the family ready to enjoy the experience of being overseas.

All teachers and staff are very helpful and well prepared to help children and families adapt to Singapore. The way EtonHouse embraces all cultural and religious beliefs is wonderful. Etonhouse has shown us how fantastic it is to have the opportunity to enjoy such an experience. 6 months after starting school our children were speaking English, having play dates and feeling well in school and at home. This was a great victory for all the family!!

The role that parents and families have in EtonHouse is wonderful and helped us make new friends and start enjoying one of the greatest joys of Singapore: weekend barbecues.

EtonHouse has helped us settle in Singapore and to overcome many of our initial anxieties in a very calm and natural way.

To everyone in EtonHouse, to all the staff: thank you for everything!!!
