One World International School (OWIS) is a private international school in Singapore. In 2015 OWIS was acquired by Global Schools Foundation (GSF), a not-for-profit chain of K-12 schools in Southeast Asia. Being part of GSF allows the school to access the international student community and became One World Community of over 70 nationalities and cultures.
As an ultimate goal, One World International School pursues academic excellence but at the same time, it is an inclusive, diverse, and welcoming community with affordable fees.
From January 2020 One World International School has two campuses in Singapore:
– Nanyang Campus for EC1 to Grade 12
– East Coast Campus for EC1 to EC3
The OWIS Nanyang Campus features more than 32,000 square meters of learning facilities and outdoor spaces. It is designed into separate blocks for Early Childhood, Primary School and Secondary School. Some of the features the campus include are:
OWIS offers three programs depending on the grade:
During the academic year 2020-2021, OWIS has introduced a new Chinese-English Bilingual program for students between the ages of 6 and 11. The program provides an opportunity for students to achieve fluency in both English and Mandarin.
OWIS tries to keep a moderated school fee structure that allows parents to provide their children with a world-class education. The Tuition Fees for Academic Year 2022-2023 vary from S$18,564 per year in EC1 to EC 3 and Grades 1 to 6 to S$21,342 per year in Grades 7 to 12. More info regarding School Fees can be found here.

The children have the most fun and engaging activities that get their minds off their academic studies – music classes being one of them. My son has developed a major love of guitars, thanks to his music teacher at OWIS Nanyang!

OWIS teachers are attentive to whether your child struggles or excels, offering a personalized approach to education where students can learn at their own pace without feeling pressured by the curriculum. While this method is beneficial, there is still room for refining how it adapts to meet the diverse needs of all students more effectively

We moved to Singapore last year and chose OWIS for our children to ensure they were learning in a global environment. Even the tuition fees is decent as compared to an exorbitant amount charged by other international schools.

This is my son’s fourth year with One World International School and I couldn’t be happier. My son is improving so much in academics as well as social skills, where he is playing with kids and communicating so nicely with them. He has a newfound confidence in himself that carries over to everything he does. Surely, OWIS had a major role to play in his transition.

If there was any word to describe OWIS’ environment, it would be positive. They really give children the room to grow, explore and learn. My daughter’s confidence has increased tremendously.

Llegamos a Owis desesperados porque nuestra hija tenia dificultad de aprendizaje y en el anterior colegio nos pidieron que la cambiáramos porque no tenían el soporte para ella. Aún me quedo impresionada de toda la ayuda que hemos recibido de Owis y mi hija adora su nuevo colegio
