Overseas Family School






Overseas Family School (OFS) http://www.ofs.edu.sg/ is made up of four schools - Kindergarten, Elementary, Middle and High School. OSF is a proprietary limited company led by a board of directors to whom each of the section leaders/principals report.

Principal, Aaron Nussbaum was kind enough to show me around the elementary section of the school.

There are 1300 students in the elementary section of the school and over 3000 in the whole school. In that total are 60 different cultures making it a truly multicultural school.
Students are organised into 60 classes of no more than 25 in each. The total faculty of 115 teachers includes specialists for PE, Art, ICT and some other curriculum areas.

The IBO PYP philosophy, programmes, learner profile and principles provide the basis of the curriculum.

The school is authorised K-12 by the International Baccalaureate Organisation, Geneva; accredited K-12 by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, California, USA. (WASC) and registered by the Singapore government.

Hi Paul,

I was in OFS a few weeks ago. My niece attends there. Nice place.

Noticed you have a caricature for your profile. (Smiles*) I do caricatures too.

Best Regards ^_^
