One World International School: A multicultural, kindness-led international school where students develop a love of learning

One World International School provides an international education to students from the ages of 3 to 18 in a nurturing, multicultural environment. Our diverse student and teacher community promotes an understanding of different perspectives, cultures and global awareness. We maintain our student diversity by limiting each individual nationality to no more than 30 percent of our student population.

An all-inclusive and truly diverse school where children can safely nurture who they are and what they want to be.

We have two vibrant school environments in Singapore – the first is an all-through Early Childhood to Grade 12 campus in the West, and the second is an Early Childhood to Primary Grade 6 campus in the CBD. We will have a third all-through, purpose-built campus which is being designed in the North-East of Singapore, which is scheduled to open in 2023 (subject to CPE approval).

Our kindness-driven school is a popular choice among expat families. Through our personalised teaching approach, we nurture academic excellence and encourage our students to grow into independent, skilled, and socially aware individuals.

“One World International School (OWIS) has provided such a positive experience for my son and our family. The OWIS family embraced us with open arms and my son felt immediately included. On his very first day, he told me "I feel like I have been going to this school for a long time. I love it here!" He’s been excited to go to school ever since.”, says Sophie K. whose son studies at OWIS.

We provide an internationally recognised academic pathway, comprising the IB Primary Years Programme, Cambridge IGCSE and IB Diploma Programme, all at a moderately priced fee point. Our students are active participants in their learning process with access to hands-on, real-life learning experiences and the best technological resources.

Play-based and inquiry-led learning in the Early Years

Based on the IB PYP and underpinned by the English National Curriculum, our Early Childhood programme (ages 3 to 6) follows a play-based and inquiry-led approach to learning. Through activities suitable for their development stage, each child embarks on an exciting journey of self-discovery and sensory exploration of the world around them. Students also enjoy Art, Music, and Physical Education and start building their understanding of Mandarin as a second language.

Play-based, inquiry-led preschool education that lays the foundations of your child’s learning journey.

Fostering inquisitive, lifelong learners in Primary School

For our Primary students (ages 7 to 11), our teachers use the IB PYP framework to focus on conceptual learning where students can lead the direction of some of the learning, guided and assisted by the teacher. Our students at OWIS are encouraged to become independent thinkers, who take responsibility for their own learning and for their actions as human beings. They are able to learn through a variety of techniques, from reading and researching, to practical skills and play scenarios. (OWIS Nanyang is an accredited IB World School, and OWIS Suntec is an IB PYP Candidate School.)
