What the school says

"At One World International School, we believe young learners benefit greatly from the play-based and inquiry-led learning approach. Based on the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP) and underpinned by the English National Curriculum, our educational approach helps preschoolers to develop key communication, socio-emotional, motor and cognitive skills. The school day offers an interesting balance between English, Maths, Units of Inquiry, Mandarin, Art, Music and Physical Education to enthuse young children and keep them excited about learning.

"Our preschool classrooms at both of our campuses are bright and spacious, and there is plenty of room to integrate the different types of play that young children enjoy. We have dedicated child-safe zones for discovery and exploration, role play, physical activity, creativity, collaboration, sensory play, and outdoor learning. Our inviting Early Childhood environment has been designed to bring out the best in your child and to make coming to school the highlight of the day.

"Our passionate and caring IB-trained teachers treat every young learner as a unique individual. They help your child to develop confidence and independence from a young age. In small class sizes with a maximum of 18 students in Early Childhood, children get the special personalised attention and support they need to blossom and grow."

"We are committed to creating a student-focused and experiential learning community for your children. By nurturing the values of kindness and empathy, we ensure that our school community is a safe and positive environment where students will feel a sense of belonging.

We also love OWIS’ ethos of kindness. This results in a school culture that is one of acceptance and positivity. We couldn’t be happier with our choice of school.”
