With the education hub of prominent schools from primary to tertiary all around The Addition, residents will have it easy sending their kids to school.

For one, Cedar Girls’ School is a renowned secondary school in Singapore and offers both the Integrated Programme and the Express stream for secondary education.

Another school to consider would be Saint Andrew’s Village, a school complex comprising of the all-boys Saint Andrew’s Junior School, all-boys Saint Andrew’s Secondary School and co-ed Saint Andrew’s Junior College. On top of these schools, Saint Andrew’s Village is also home to three church buildings, the Ascension Kindergarten, the (Anglican) Diocesan Office, and a hostel. It is believed that school distance affects home prices, and from the researches of a study, homes situated within 2 km radius of sought after primary schools usually command high price premiums. Investors will have no problem finding takers for a unit in The Addition with its convenience for school going children.
