School Stories
We follow a well-rounded approach to education in our IB and Cambridge curricula at both our campuses – OWIS Nanyang and OWIS Digital Campus.
Have a scroll through the vibrant happenings at our international school in Singapore. Please click on the photo in the post to view it in its entirety.
Who knew the 🍃 world outside could be a classroom? Our EC3 explorers took learning on the road, discovering that nature itself can be a teacher!
From noticing patterns in leaves to observing colours, shapes, and textures, every step became a lesson in observation, creativity, and inquiry. Sometimes, the best learning doesn’t come from books — it comes from the world around us.

A student-led assembly? That`s a nice change! And that`s exactly what class 5B did.
From planning to performance, the Grade 5 IBPYP students showed incredible voice, choice, and ownership, embodying the true spirit of student agency. They managed the entire assembly with confidence and teamwork, showcasing not just what they’ve learned, but how they’ve grown as independent learners.
Their highlight performance, a creative skit inspired by Animal Farm, was thoughtful and entertaining and a testament to their collaboration and self-management skills. Great job 5B!

✨ Happy Diwali!
What an amazing sight to behold as regardless of race and nationality, OWIS Newton came together to celebrate Diwali as one last Thursday.
From dance performances and rangoli decorating to trying delicious traditional treats like murukku and gulab jamun, it was simply a beautiful day of cultural sharing and community spirit.
At OWIS, we celebrate diversity not just in words, but through meaningful experiences like this — moments that bring us together and help our students appreciate the richness of cultures around them. 🌍
Big thank you to to all the parents who joined and supported their children — your presence made the celebration even more special! ❤️

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
Psst, you can find more photos on our FB page.

If anyone knows how to turn it up 🔥 for a Diwali party, it’s OWIS Punggol!
Songs, dance, performances — we had it all. And at one point during the celebration, we’re pretty sure the Quantum Theatre was shaking when the whole school got up to dance!
At the end of the day, it was more than just a celebration. It was a reminder of the moments that bring us together, moments that help us appreciate the richness of cultures that make up our 🌍 One World.
Happy Diwali, everyone!

It`s our very first Diwali celebration in our campus, which made it extra ✨ special!
At OWIS, kindness means embracing each other’s cultures, celebrating our differences, and learning the beauty of diversity together. Today was exactly that. Beautiful.

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.

Here`s a sneak peek of what`s happening tomorrow! You guessed it, it`s Diwali! With celebrations happening tomorrow (parents welcomed!) our EC3s` UOI focus was all about Diwali.
Inspired by the book they read "The Light Within You" about Diya, who created beautiful rangolis with her grandma, they too, designed and created their very own rangolis!
We`ll see everyone tomorrow for Diwali!

Curious what learning is like at OWIS? Just ask Josiah Montessori!
A while ago, our IBPYP Grade 1 classroom welcomed young learners from Josiah Montessori for a special Taster Programme, giving them a sneak peek into life at OWIS.
The children spent the day exploring, playing, and learning alongside our students, enjoying fun activities that encouraged curiosity, creativity, and collaboration. Laughter, teamwork, and discovery were at the heart of their experience!
A wonderful glimpse into OWIS learning! If you’d like a taste of what learning is like at OWIS, please feel free to join a campus tour! https://owis.org/sg/school-tour/

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.
