Our EC and primary school teachers are available every weekday morning at 8:50am, and at the end of the day, for parents who want to approach them about making an appointment to discuss their child's performance.
Because we recognise that parents may not always be able to connect with us in person, we also encourage them to reach out to teachers via email.
For Early Childhood and Primary students, we maintain a digital portfolio on the Toddle app, consisting of photographs and videos. Your child's teacher will give you a unique access code and password so you can monitor your child's progress in real-time.
For our Secondary students, we use a leading online learning platform called ManageBac, which is designed for international schools. This platform optimises communication between teachers and students and includes a special calendar just for students. This platform also features a Parent Portal that enables parents to track their children's performance and learn about upcoming events.
We also have an active social media presence to keep members of our school community current about what's happening at our various campuses. Following us on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn allows families of potential new students to learn more about us and our unique approach. Here, we report on new additions to our blog, recent school events and activities the whole family can enjoy together.
Parents can consult our academic calendar to find out about upcoming holidays and when new terms begin and end.
Academic integrity and transparency are extremely important to us. In keeping with those values, our Head of School and class or subject teachers submit weekly updates via email to ensure that families know about upcoming school events and other activities.
Parents play a pivotal role in their child’s experience at school. There are steps that you can take now to help get your child prepared for their time at OWIS. Here are a few tips that can help:
This is a unique opportunity for you and your child to be introduced to the campus together and to learn about the various facilities.
Our school’s rich diversity provides a globally-minded perspective and cultivates inclusion.
Let your child know about where you can volunteer or when you can come to visit.
We appreciate the regular communication from the teachers so we know what and how our children are learning. Everyone is positive, pleasant, engaging and student-centered.
Both our girls are very fond of their teachers and are always keen to go to school each day. We have seen significant improvements from their time with the school, especially in terms of reading and writing. We have noted that the teachers take time to get to know each student at an individual level, putting significant effort into building the children’s social skills, and encouraging them to solve problems on their own.
Our children enjoy interacting with their teachers and friends, both in and out of the classroom. The younger one comes back from school every day saying, "School was super fun again today!
Discover how we nurture your child’s confidence and independent thinking skills in a healthy, open and truly international school environment. Learn more about our approach to education and find out if OWIS is the right school for your family.
