– At Levels 1 and 2, the students undergo an intensive
language acquisition programme conducted by
specialist teachers trained to teach English as a
second or other language; and
– When basic pro ciency is reached, our students are
moved to Level 3, where they will be able to participate
in regular classes, with on-going support from SPP
English language specialist teachers.
• A main objective of SPP is to enable SPP students to
return to or join the mainstream classes as quickly as
possible, preferably at the same grade level as their
non-SPP peers so that they do not lose an academic
year.
• At OFS, all non-SPP students are expected to study
another major international language apart from English.
The ve second languages currently offered at OFS are
Mandarin, French, German, Spanish and Japanese.
EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
• In addition to the core curricular programme, OFS also
conducts extra-curricular activities. Students can choose
to join various clubs in areas such as science, art, music,
dance, drama and chess, or sports activities, including
basketball, badminton, soccer, swimming, touch rugby and
volleyball. Students are also given the chance to engage in
friendly competition with other teams including teams from
other schools.
ENRICHMENT PROGRAMMES
• In addition to the school curriculum, OFS currently
offers more than 40 optional enrichment programmes
that students from Grades K-12 may enrol in. These
enrichment programmes are provided by external service
providers who have been carefully selected and range
from various types of sports and games, to the arts
(including music, dance and drama), the sciences and
some popular languages. Some of the programmes,
such as the language and yoga courses, are also open
for participation by the parents of our students.
COLLEGE ADMISSION COUNSELLING
• Our academic advisers counsel students planning to
enroll in colleges and universities. We assist students
by providing them with information on admission
requirements to different colleges and universities and
the degrees and courses available for tertiary education.
• We also schedule Grade 11 and 12 students to meet a
number of representatives from colleges world-wide,
to discuss their respective col lege requirements,
application procedures and all other prerequisites
necessary for admission into the colleges. In addition,
we conduct Scholastic Aptitude Test (“SAT”) and ACT
workshops and assist students in their final college
placement arrangements by providing one-to-one
college admission counselling sessions for them.
