An Overseas Classroom.
A Week That Changes Everything.
A transformative 7-day cultural immersion for children aged 6 to 9 in another country. Truly an experience of a lifetime.
Overseas Elementary Exchange Camp
6 to 9 years old
Greentree's Overseas Exchange Program offers a rare opportunity for children aged 6 to 9 to experience life in another country, not as tourists, but as learners fully embedded in a local classroom.
Over seven immersive days they will collaborate with Thai peers and discover how learning transcends borders.
Expect your child to return more independent, adaptable, and globally curious—qualities that grow best when young minds step outside their comfort zone. Scroll down to see how our carefully curated blend of school immersion, parent workshops, and family adventures turns an ordinary school holiday into a lifelong memory for the whole family.

Can I use the Baby Bonus account?Yes, Greentree Montessori and its schools allow for payments using the Baby Bonus account (Child Development Account - CDA) offered by POSB, UOB, and OCBC. At Greentree Montessori, payments from the CDA can only be made via GIRO.

Can I use the Baby Bonus account for my child's Tuition Deposit?Yes. Please note that if the tuition deposit is paid using CDA, any refunds must be made bck to the same CDA account. Do also note that at Greentree Montessori, payments from the CDA can only be made via GIRO.

-
Do I need to make payments if my child is absent from school?Yes. There will be no refund of fees if your child is unable to attend class due to medical or family and personal commitments.
-
If I am going overseas for a period of time, do I still need to pay school fees when my child is not studying in school?"Students are to pay school fees for all 12 months. This is because the total costs of running the school and all applicable fees payable are calculated on an annual basis. These fees are then spread out and made payable over a period of 12 months. Alternatively, you may withdraw your child from the school and re-enrol at a later date (subjected to availability) if the period of absence will be substantial. Do be reminded that the deposit will only be refunded when supported with a one month's notice.

Are there any late pick-up penalty fees?You must arrange for your child to be picked up on time. A $5.00 late pick up fee will be imposed for every 5 minutes after the agreed pickup timing.
