About this school
Overseas Family School (OFS) has provided an English-language education for expatriate families living in Singapore since 1991 and is one of the larger international schools in the country, with about 3,000 students from over 70 countries and around 500 teaching and support staff. Teachers come from about 40 countries, and the school deliberately has no dominant nationality. Students must normally live in Singapore with their families.
The curriculum runs from age 2 to Grade 12:
- International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) from Pre-K1 to K2
- International Primary Curriculum (IPC) for Grades 1-5
- International Baccalaureate from Grade 6, with the IB Middle Years Programme, Cambridge IGCSE exams and the IB Diploma Programme in high school
Students can learn French, German, Hindi, Japanese, Mandarin or Spanish, and children from Pre-K2 to Grade 8 may study their own mother tongue four hours a week within the timetable at no extra fee. A Study Preparation Program helps new students build English quickly while staying with their age group. The Pasir Ris Heights campus covers about 110,000 square metres, and activities include chess, sports and Model United Nations.
