Stamford American International School Superintendent Mark Wenzel speaks about the school's vision for corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives and opportunities for service projects at the American Chamber of Commerce.
Two-time winner
For the second year in a row, Stamford was the only educational institution among 48 recipients to receive the award, presented by Singapore President Halimah Yacob.

Combining academic excellence and service learning
Stamford fosters a learning environment where classroom studies and service to the community serve as key educational pillars consistent with the IB curriculum. The school challenges students to develop a global mindset and act in ways where the school's values of compassion, integrity, courage and ingenuity shine bright.
In addition to its recent recognition by AmCham Singapore, Stamford has earned other recognitions for innovation and quality curriculum:
"We appreciate the strong recognition from these outside groups," said Superintendent Mark Wenzel. "They correspond with the highest parent satisfaction scores in our school's history, and really positive feedback from the students themselves on recent surveys. Our goal is to inspire students, both in their learning and in their service to others. We think of Stamford as a place where students can find their excellence - and they're living up to it every day!"
