Overseas Education Limited is the holding company of Overseas Family School Limited which operates Overseas Family School (OFS or School), a leading foreign system school in Singapore.
OFS offers a multifaceted and fully integrated inquiry-based programme comprising International Early Years Curriculum, International Primary Curriculum and International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum to children of expatriate families aged 2 to 18 years old.
OFS maintains cultural diversity on campus and strives to raise students as responsible world citizens. Our Model United Nations programme develops students' skills in communication, research, collaboration, negotiation and presentation, promoting international mindedness and global citizenship from a relatively young age. This programme has even attracted the attention of the Department of Public Information - Outreach Division of the United Nations headquarters in New York.
Students are encouraged to flourish at their own pace in an environment that fosters growth through self-discipline, self-respect and respect for others. A "worldwide family approach" permeates the school system, promoting diversity, critical thinking and lifelong learning so that students can function well in a globalised economy and a culturally diverse society. OFS prides itself as a family-oriented school that greatly values its bonds with parents and students. OFS provides a well-rounded education to students of expatriate families from more than 60 countries, and supported by staff members from some 35 countries.
About 5,000 students can be accommodated at OFS' spacious campus in Pasir Ris, located east of Singapore. Our five-hectare campus with state-of-the-art facilities has been described as the school design of the future.
