Through the “光华旗舰万花筒” course, students dive deep into Chinese culture while mastering both English and Chinese. This program combines the best of Eastern and Western traditions, offering hands-on experiences with Chinese musical instruments, calligraphy, ink painting, martial arts, and more. Students also participate in cultural classes, learning trips, and overseas immersion activities, giving them a rich and engaging way to connect with their heritage.

One particular development that we really like is The Continuum, it feels more prestigious, is freehold and the detail is a level up compare to Grand Dunman, Tembusu Grand and Emerald of Katong. The price gap is also attractive. However, it will only TOP in 2026.
While The Continuum is our top pick for several reasons but for immediate move in, we identify Waterbank at Dakota as a viable alternative.
Waterbank at Dakota offers stunning riverfront views, excellent school proximity, and a vibrant city-fringe location, making it the perfect home for families and investors alike. It stands out as one of the sought-after residences in the area, combining waterfront serenity with urban convenience, excellent connectivity, and strong investment potential.
