Yangon’s Star City is getting its own international school

Self-dubbed ‘exclusive green waterfront community’ Star City is about to get even more self-sufficient.

The apartment complex on the far side of the Bago river is already home to a City Mart, branches of 50th Street Bar, various other restaurants and banks. Next up? An international school worth $40 million.

Singaporean investment company YOMA Strategic Holdings on Tuesday said it had signed design-build-operate agreements with Education Index Management to open British College Yangon, the Business Times reported.

The institution, which will take students from 2 to 18 years old and teach the UK curriculum, is expected to open for the 2016/2017 school year. 

It will be partnered with Dulwich College London.
