The articles, published every few weeks in eNews, address a range of finance-related topics, such as the school's annual budget, financial reserves, and student demographics. "Big picture" topics are also considered, such as developments in Singapore's international school market and differences between nonprofit and for-profit schools.

Singapore American School
Abstract.

 Singapore American School (SAS) is a non-profit, independent, co-educational day school located in the Woodlands area of Singapore. It offers an American-based curriculum for students in preschool through high school. One of Singapore's first international schools, SAS was founded in 1956, and started with a hundred students in a colonial house. It has since developed into a school of nearly 4,000 students on a 36-acre campus. SAS is accredited by the US-based Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).
