Originally from the UK, Jasween joined OWIS when the school had only 120 students. What drove Jasween to OWIS was seeing the school place children first, championing open communication and having such strong core values – all of which remain true to this day.
The world has been moving into the digital realm for some time, but the COVID-19 pandemic forced everyone to go virtual almost immediately. In Singapore, educators were faced with the same challenges being faced by other teaching professionals around the world. Not only were teachers trying to design innovative and interactive remote learning environments, but administrators also had to create virtual tours that allowed prospective parents and students to learn more about their schools.
Initially, virtual experiences such as school tours seemed like they would be the exception during a trying and tumultuous period, but at One World International School (OWIS), we have found that there is merit to these immersive options.
