Singapore American School’s Student Nonfiction Magazine

We publish nonfiction and rhetorical compositions on a wide variety of topics and in a range of forms. Based in Singapore, an island nation that scintillates with different languages, cultures, beliefs, traditions, and ethnicities, The Spark reflects our diversity while amplifying our individual voices. These works respond to relevant issues in culture, society, politics, and daily life, allowing our readers to see the world in a new light.

We update regularly to bring you back again and again. As next-generation writers and thinkers, we believe our passion, our anger, and our hope can spark something in you.

The Spark is born when writers finish their pieces and send them to our Editing Team, who refine grammar and conventions, abiding by a set of established guidelines that they developed by consensus to ensure a consistent, high-quality publication. 

The Editing Team then forwards these polished pieces to the Design Team, who have constructed our webpage, which we hope enhances our reader’s experience through relevant visuals, intuitive navigation, and an aesthetic layout. The website serves both as a platform for written rhetoric and a place where the audience can reach out to the team and provide areas for improvement. 

Lastly, our Publicity Team pushes the essays out to you, helping spread The Spark via social media, posters, and word of mouth. Our goal is to create a relationship with you, keep you excited for every new release of essays, and gather information about what issues matter to you, our readers.
