In addition, students at our international school in Jurong are immersed in a multicultural environment where they make friends with students of all backgrounds and cultures. This inclusive and nurturing atmosphere leads to the development of internationally-minded citizens.
The IB Learner Profile is at the heart of our school’s philosophy
As an IB World School, we nurture the attributes of the IB Learner Profile through our teaching and learning approach as well as our pastoral care programme. Through this dual approach, students learn the importance of becoming responsible young people and they feel motivated to pursue knowledge with enthusiasm and curiosity.
We emphasise holistic development and student well-being
While academics and the application of concepts into practice are extremely important, we also value the holistic development of students. The school day at OWIS Nanyang is engaging and enables students to develop different skills and interests. Our time-tables across Early Childhood, Primary School and Secondary School strike a balance between academics and digital learning, outdoor learning, Art, Music, Physical Education and PSPE / PSHE. Further, our Pastoral Care Programme prepares our educators to look out for students and ensure their well-being.

What OWIS parents and students say
Janelle R., IBDP Batch of 2021
My teachers were incredibly supportive of me and my classmates when doing IB and some really went out of their way to help us as much as they could, which I appreciated so much.
Adeliya F., IBDP Batch of 2023
At OWIS, I've learnt a lot about communication, and how it's important to be proactive, not reactive. I've also learnt that kindness and empathy are key in leadership and collaborative work.
Christina O.
I like that technology plays enough of a part within my children's studies but does not dominate basic skills towards literacy with reading, writing and presentation. There is very much a balance.

When we celebrate Diwali, we don’t just 🔥 light lamps — we light up the whole school!
We had everything from dance performances to songs and infectious energy. The celebration filled the whole school with colour, laughter and togetherness.
But beyond the music and lights, Diwali at OWIS is about unity. A reminder that while we come from different cultures, it’s our shared joy, respect, and kindness that truly connect us. 🌍
Happy Diwali to our OWIS family and fri#internationalschool

Mr. James Sweeney`s opening address turned into a #Hopecore video. Remember that at OWIS, kindness is at the heart of everything we do — and one of the greatest acts of kindness is respect: for each other, for our cultures, and for the world we share.

Oh man, 10 pictures just aren`t enough to showcase 🌏 International Day 2025 — one of our most beloved OWIS traditions! A celebration of unity in diversity.
Last week, our campus came alive as students, parents and teachers, all dressed in colour national costumes, came to dance, make friends, chow down on amazing food and most importantly, celebrate our diversity!
And as our Head of School, Mr. Sweeney, beautifully reminded us:
“On International Day, it’s not just about learning about each other, but also what’s the same about us — what connects us, who we are, what we do. Because we are all part of OWIS. We should celebrate not only what’s different, but what’s the same.”
It was a day that perfectly captured the spirit of global citizenship, where our community celebrated cultures from around the world while recognising the shared values that unite us all.
Make sure you follow us instagram.com/owis.singapore as we`ll be pumping out more International Day content! Oh and you can find even more photos on our FB page.

Our EC3s came in like a wrecking ball at Kidz Amaze Indoor Playground last week and did tons of climbing, sliding, and exploring!
But more than just play, our IB PYP students discovered how people adapt to different spaces and how environments are designed for safety, movement, and fun. Real-life learning has never been this fun!

Our Grades 9–11 students brought the stage to life with their very first 🎭 Lunch Repertoire Performance of the academic year — a refreshing and inspiring showcase that beautifully ties into their IGCSE and IBDP Drama coursework.
The following week, they took their learning beyond the classroom with a visit to LASALLE College of the Arts, where they watched graduating students perform their final production.
Experiencing theatre at a near-professional level left our young performers deeply inspired to refine their craft and explore new creative dimensions.
Here’s to more expression, collaboration, and artistic growth ahead, both on and off the stage!

Sad or glad, happy or mad, rhymes help show the feelings we’ve had!
Our IB PYP young learners explored rhyming words connected to emotions and senses, linking language learning with self-expression.
As they identified, read, and classified rhyming words, they strengthened communication and thinking skills while showing off their Inquirer and Reflective learner profiles. Maybe rapping could be a useful skill to have after all to have!
