Global Schools Group (GSG) is a chain of K-12 schools in Southeast Asia. The first GSG campus launched in Mount Sophia, Singapore with just forty-eight students.
Headquartered in Singapore, the organisation now boasts dozens of campuses spanning an ever-expanding number of countries. The group now serves tens of thousands of students representing more than seventy different nationalities across the globe.
Created with the goal of providing affordable, high-quality education to international communities worldwide, GSG was founded in 2002. Nearly two decades later, the group’s schools have received hundreds of national and international awards for academic excellence.
We operate 12 international school brands and 65 campuses across India, Malaysia, Cambodia, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, The Philippines and the United Kingdom.
OWIS was acquired by GSG in 2015, and this allowed us to widen our outreach to the international student community.
Our OWIS Nanyang campus welcomed its first students in January 2018 after we successfully competed against 11 other K-12 international schools to win a tender offered by Singapore’s Economic Development Board for our Nanyang school site. We started our second campus in the East of Singapore in January 2020 at Mountbatten.
GSG has grown tremendously since its humble beginnings in 2002. To carry out our shared mission, the OWIS leadership team collaborates with the GSG team in multiple areas of synergy:
Governance - We strive to follow best practices as we seek not only to achieve our goals but also those of GSG.
Efficiency in day-to-day operations - Optimising our management procedures in areas such as accounting, finance, and IT infrastructure enables us to make the best use of available resources.
Educational excellence - For each of our campuses, our Academic and Examination Board establishes rigorous academic standards. Each of our schools caters to a distinct community, and our programmes are tailored accordingly.
GSG also provides advisors to OWIS:
Global Schools Group is committed to maintaining high standards in governance, curriculum quality and management. To consistently ensure best practices in teaching and learning, we invite key stakeholders to work with the board to improve OWIS and GSG. Their feedback helps us incorporate policies and practices that have established us as leaders in international education.
The mission of GSG parallels our vision for OWIS: to prepare students to become dynamic global leaders of the future. We look forward to working together to fulfil our shared vision of providing a well-rounded education that brings out the best in each of our students, allowing them to reach their full potential.
