The right learning environment is crucial for children, as they must feel safe and nurtured in order to feel confident in their creativity and ability to learn.

As parents, when you drop your children at school, you need to know that they are safe, secure, and in a happy learning environment. At OWIS Nanyang Campus, a source of pride for all of us, we have designed a space which promotes learning on every level and in a comfortable and secure manner. With that in mind, our campus is designed to future-proof your child’s education by enticing him or her to continue learning both in and out of the classroom. Our aim at the OWIS Nanyang Campus is to interweave the outdoor and indoor spaces together to produce a beautiful, calm learning environment.

Many of the most elite institutions around the world have one thing in common: Their tuition fees are excessively high. These elite schools claim that their high tuition rates allow them to provide an exclusive education and a luxury experience for their students, but the fact remains that it's entirely possible to offer students a world-class education for moderate fees.

Times are changing. You may, however, be unsure how to respond to these changing times in the way that best respects your child’s needs and sets them up for future success.

STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) subjects have gained popularity in the last several decades to meet the demands of a technologically-dependent society. Students who want to become 21st-century leaders need to have an arsenal of STEAM skills by the time they graduate in order to be prepared for the career of their choice. STEAM education develops students to take analysed risks, collaborate with others, problem solve and use their creative minds. It helps develop them into diverse learners, educators, researchers and innovators. It puts them ahead of the game in this ever-developing world and puts them at the forefront of new experiences and opportunities.

While STEAM-related jobs are growing, countries around the world are struggling to catch up with the demand for STEAM-trained graduates. STEAM is about teaching students to be fluid and dynamic so that they can move into a range of career opportunities and easily adapt to different situations.

Here, at One World International School we want our students to be able to contribute to meaningful and productive STEAM careers and STEAM skills are a core part of our programme.

Before you decide on the place your child or children will be spending much of their time – as well as the place from which much of their exposure and opportunity will come – you want to be sure you’ve made the best choice. We understand. Many of us have children of our own, and we know what it means to get the best education for them. If you’re still on the fence about where to send your child, it is necessary to learn more about your options, one of which is One World International School (OWIS).

Many of us hold the erroneous notion that education must either be affordable or excellent. Despite this widespread belief, very expensive schools can under perform, just as schools with reasonable rates can maintain the highest standards and receive the highest scores on international tests … all while remaining affordable for parents.
