Overseas Family School

We arrived in Singapore in 2020. Kora and Penny have attended Overseas Family School since we arrived and Zoey joined her big sisters in February.

We relocated to Singapore during the peak of lockdowns in 2020 and there was a lot of uncertaint­y for us as a family. We were completely new to Singapore so it was daunting to make the right decision.

A mother of Tim’s friend had been a teacher at OFS previously and she spoke highly of the school. We also read lots of positive feedback during our online research. Ultimately, given the school’s diverse nature and convenient location to where we were going to live and Tim’s workplace, we knew OFS would be the right choice.

Our entire experience with the school has been very positive from the beginning. Our first tour of the school was a great start, from the warm welcome at reception through to seeing all the excellent facilities such as the athletics track, dedicated art and music rooms, and library that the children would have access to. Our kids have felt very comfortabl­e at the school from day one. It’s a very caring environmen­t and provides many rich learning experience­s – we always hear them talk about their days with great enthusiasm.

The school has an amazing history and inclusive culture. It has a diverse environmen­t, given the number of countries and cultures present through the children who attend. This makes for a rewarding experience for all students. We’ve found all the teachers to be excellent and highly invested in seeing our children succeed and reach their goals. No hesitation in recommendi­ng the school to other families.
