Middle School can be a very challenging time. Amidst the many physical and emotional changes, Middle School students are also laying the foundation for their academic lives. At OFS Middle School we always have the students at the centre of our focus. We want to provide an opportunity for students to learn to interact with others and employ self-discipline. We strive to provide a safe, engaging, and fun environment for Middle School students to grow and thrive – a space for them to find their feet and discover their passions and interests.
OFS Middle School offers a true international experience with students, teachers and administrators from many different nationalities. We offer the IB Middle Years Program (MYP), a five year program, running from Grade 6 to Grade 10 in High School, where most students also sit IGCSE external examinations. The MYP is an inclusive curriculum and students of all academic abilities can benefit from participation. The program prepares students well for the International Baccalaureate Diploma (offered in High School), a highly sought after and internationally recognised qualification.
OFS prides itself on being an open entry school. Our policy is that parents are the senior partner in these decisions and we offer full support and guidance during that process. Our Study Preparation Program (SPP) offers comprehensive English support for those who that might need it while also continuing with their Middle School Education.
The Middle School boasts a vibrant life outside of the classroom. We have after school and lunch time clubs that support learning and social development. We also encourage all of our students to get involved in important community service projects as part of our MYP Action program. Our Tigers competitive teams offer students a great opportunity to develop their athletic skills and compete against other schools in Singapore whilst our Arts team is always working to promote Music, Art, Drama and performance opportunities for all of our students. All of our students have the opportunity to be involved in our grade level camps which provide fun and engaging outdoor programs. We also have a well-developed Model United Nations program where students can hone their speaking and critical thinking skills.
OFS Middle School is a dynamic and engaging school where students can grow and thrive in a culturally diverse environment. We endeavour to prepare our students to become responsible global citizens and the future leaders of tomorrow. We look forward to working with you and welcoming your child into our international community.
