Abstract: Schools play a pivotal role in guiding students to become certain types of people. International schools strive to educate global citizens who are adaptable and culturally curious. As part of this mission, international schools encourage the celebration of religious diversity through institutional accommodation and school celebrations. The eclectic mix of belonging and becoming encountered in international schools can lead to the creation of a more-than-national sense of identity. For Indian expatriates in Singapore, this becomes particularly complex due to degrees of attachment to India, feelings of belonging within Singapore, and the pursuit of a transnational 'Global Indian' identity. Drawing on 53 interviews with students, teachers, and school administrators from international schools in Singapore, we explore how the teaching and performance of Indian culture, specifically religious festivals, can shape the formation of more-than-Indian citizenship pathways.
