This means it’s important that they wear high-quality and well-fitting footwear to protect their developing feet and prevent long-term issues. Barefoot shoes aim to remove the overengineering found in modern shoes, which can have a range of benefits for wearers, and in particular, for children.

Posted on by Emma Reed

As much as we might hate to admit it, it will not be long now before the winter arrives, bringing with it the kind of grim and unpredictable weather that UK residents know so well. The summer tends to be a much easier time for homeowners as their properties are put under a lot less stress (although the heatwave in July certainly introduced a lot of us to the need for air conditioning). But the winter is when our properties will start to show some cracks, and here are some of the key areas you need to focus on.

How the IB Programme Prepares Children for the Future

Posted on by Emma Reed
*Collaborative Post

The International Baccalaureate Programme (IB Programme) is a collection of international education programs offered by the International Baccalaureate (IB). These programs include the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP) and IB Career-related Programme (IBCP) for older students aged 15-19, the IB Middle Years Programme (IB MYP) for students aged 11 to 16, and the IB Primary Years Programme (IB PYP) for young students aged 3 to 12. 

The IB’s approach to education is generally considered to be more balanced, cosmopolitan, and future-ready than those offered by most mainstream school systems. Enrolling your child in the IB Programme may thus give them the flexibility and outlook needed to succeed in their future endeavors.

The demand for IB-accredited programs is especially high in Singapore, due to the country’s cultural diversity, the high number of expat families, and the country’s outsized role in globalization. Thankfully, finding an IB Programme Singapore-based families could trust is straightforward, as the country has a relatively high density of IB-accredited international schools.
