In 2011, The Hague International Model United
Nations (“THIMUN”) approved the affiliation status for
our School’s MUN programme, known as MUNOFS.
We have been organising annual MUNOFS
conferences for the past five years. Each year we
organise two MUN conferences - MUNOFS for High
School students and MY-MUNOFS for Middle School
students. The recent MY-MUNOFS IV conference
held from 22nd to 24th February 2013 had nearly
600 participants from 28 schools hailing from eight
different countries.
Having a full and integrated curriculum based on IB
and the IGCSE, with the MUN initiative incorporated
into our core curriculum, allow our students to follow
a consistent and coherent educational approach and
philosophy throughout their pre-tertiary education. It
also enables us to accept enrolment of students at
any pre-tertiary education level.
USING IT INNOVATIVELY
Our extensive IT resources, infrastructure and unique
OFS integrated software application have enhanced
the learning experience and interaction among our
students, their parents and our teachers, as well as
increased our effectiveness and efficiency in running
the School.
We also have a school-wide, online assessment
system that permits students, parents and teachers
to assess the effectiveness of classes that have been
taught during a school day. This system supports
and promotes student learning, and accurately
reports student achievement on an on-going basis.
This system has been a key contributing factor to
the academic achievements of our students. Over
the past three academic years, the percentage of
our High School students who obtained 35+ points
(which would generally require the students to have
obtained a majority of at least six ‘A-’ grades and
above), was consistently above the world-wide
percentages of DP students. In Academic Year
2010/2011, 36.7% of OFS DP candidates achieved
35+ points, compared to 22.6% of candidates
world-wide.
