Parent Experience

History
Dynamics International School (DIS) was established by Yael Sasson, an experienced occupational therapist who moved to Singapore in 2002. After her son, Benjamin, was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder at the age of two, Yael founded the Dynamics Early Intervention Program (EIP) to provide a nurturing educational environment tailored to his needs. Benjamin's successful transition from the EIP to mainstream schooling highlighted the program's effectiveness. Recognizing the need for a more inclusive educational setting as Benjamin progressed, Yael established DIS, aiming to offer an academic and therapeutic pathway that maximizes each student's potential.

Community
DIS fosters a close-knit community that celebrates diversity and inclusivity. The school organizes various community and cultural events throughout the academic year, promoting engagement among students, parents, and staff. These events provide opportunities for families to connect, share experiences, and support one another, enhancing the overall educational experience for students.

Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
While there is no formal PTA, the school emphasizes strong collaboration between parents and educators. This partnership ensures that each child's unique needs are met effectively. Parents are encouraged to participate in school events and initiatives, fostering a supportive and inclusive community.
