Play with Purpose

Young children learn best by doing.

That is why our classrooms are active places where children can ask questions, investigate ideas, create, move and play with others. 

Through stories and conversations children build vocabulary and develop communication skills.

Through art, music and movement, they learn to express their ideas and build creativity.

By being involved in group activities they learn how to listen, share, take turns, solve small problems and work with others.

Yes, children are enjoying themselves, but there is real learning behind what they do.

Curiosity Leads Learning

Instead of just giving children answers, our teachers encourage them to ask questions and find things out.

A child's question can become the starting point for a conversation, an activity or a new discovery.

This helps children become active learners. They begin to think for themselves, make connections and feel confident about asking questions when they do not understand something.

It is an approach designed to keep the natural curiosity of childhood alive.

Caring Teachers Who Know Your Child

For a young child, feeling safe and understood comes first.

Our teachers take the time to know the children in their care - how they learn, what interests them, where they feel confident and where they may need a little more support.

Learning can then be adapted to suit each child's stage of development and progress.

This personal attention helps children feel secure enough to try something new, speak up, make friends and become more independent.

And for parents, it means knowing there are teachers looking closely at both your child's learning and their wellbeing.

Every child a unique individual

For us, every child is a unique individual. This is why we personalise your child’s learning journey and focus on their particular progress and needs as a young learner.

Small student-teacher ratio

Due to our small class sizes and low student-teacher ratio, your child receives great personal care and attention in a safe and family-like classroom environment.

Kind and multicultural school

With kindness at the core of our school’s culture, your child becomes part of a kind and truly international community where diversity and inclusivity are celebrated.

School-wide nationality cap

To ensure all 70+ nationalities are equally represented across our school body, we cap enrolment of students coming from a single nationality at 30%.

Three vibrant campuses

We provide our Early Childhood Programme at all our campuses - Nanyang Campus in Jurong West,   Digital Campus in Punggol and Newton Campus in the Central Singapore.

Reasonable tuition fees

As a member of Global Schools Group, we are able to cut overhead costs and sustain a moderate fee structure. This means you can give your child an exceptional education at an affordable price.

Building Strong Foundations for Primary School

Early Childhood should prepare children for what comes next without rushing them through childhood.

At OWIS, our early learners gradually build the literacy and numeracy skills needed for their age-level while enjoying a well-rounded education through Music, Art and Physical Education.

Along the way, they also learn how to communicate, follow routines, work with others, solve problems, manage small responsibilities and become increasingly independent.

By the time they move into Primary School, they are not simply older. They are more confident learners who are ready to take the next step.

Kindness Starts Young

At OWIS, we believe that academic learning is only one part of a child's development and that kindness needs to be part of everyday school life.

Our students learn to listen and include others, respect differences, care for their classmates and understand that people may see the world differently from them.

Growing up within an international school community also gives children the chance to meet classmates from different cultures and backgrounds.

The result is an environment where children can learn how to be themselves while also learning how to be part of a community.
