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.

Last week, our Grade 8 students stepped out of the classroom and into the world of live theatre with an outdoor performance of Macbeth by the Singapore Repertory Theatre.
Set under the open sky, this powerful retelling of Shakespeare’s classic gave our students a whole new appreciation for dramatic storytelling, performance, and the magic of live theatre.
The experience not only deepened their understanding of the play, but also sparked new ideas for how they can bring creativity, expression, and atmosphere into their own drama lessons. A night of inspiration, intensity, and learning—just as the Bard would have liked.

Now this is what we call making learning fun—with Minecraft!
We’re giving a big shoutout to Yuchan and Brett from Grade 9C for their incredible 3D model of the 🫀 human heart… built entirely in Minecraft! Not only did they flex their creativity, but they also nailed the anatomy—complete with atria, ventricles, valves, and blood vessels, all labelled and explained.
Their project is a great reminder that learning doesn’t have to stick to textbooks. Sometimes, it can be made block by block, with curiosity and a whole lot of imagination.
Watch their video and see how intricate their design is. Any guesses how long it took them?

Looking for a fun way to make Phonics fun? Look no further! In Phonics Musical Chairs, our EC1s had to quickly grab a seat and identify the letter sound on their chair whenever the music paused.
But the fun didn’t stop there — to level up the challenge, they also had to think of a word that starts with that same sound! 🧠🔤 It was a fantastic mix of movement, laughter, and learning — with phonics skills and quick thinking being a central pillar of learning.

This is what it looks like when our G4s are tasked to investigate their unit on 🐝🌱 pollinators and flowering plants. Beyond the science, what truly stood out was the way they worked together — asking meaningful questions, sharing discoveries, and learning how small things (like bees and butterflies!) can make a big impact.
Their ability to communicate, collaborate, and inquire with purpose was a proud moment of growth, showcasing the spirit of the IB Learner Profiles learning in action.
