Workshops, Exhibitions, Sports & More: How Parents Find Their “Village” At This International School

At One World International School (OWIS) in Singapore, parents become an integral part of the school’s community through events, workshops and family days.

They say it takes a village to raise a child, and at this international school in Singapore, parents can find just that! Over at One World International School in Singapore (OWIS), parents are no mere spectators to their child’s learning experience and journey; they are instead integral to it. From Orientation Day to year-round school events, there are a plethora of opportunities for parents to engage in school life, connect with the school community, meet fellow parents and stay in the know. Here’s how:

Parents get involved from Day One

A parent’s relationship with OWIS begins on Orientation Day at the OWIS Digital Campus or OWIS Nanyang, or even as soon as an open house visit! It’s the perfect opportunity to meet the school leaders, chat with the team, and tour the very classrooms the children will be learning in.

It doesn’t stop there, of course. Parents always have an open line of communication with the school management and teachers, on top of Parent-Teacher Conferences where structured feedback sessions are held. So, rest assured parents will always be able to track and seek guidance on their child’s progress.

Throughout the year, parents will also get to join unit shares, exhibitions and workshops on topics such as inquiry-based learning, fostering emotional intelligence, and more. Parents can use these to support their child’s learning and development at home.

Get involved in fun community events

Outside of academics, there is always something exciting to look forward to at OWIS. To continue fostering a tight-knit community and build meaningful relationships, parents can join the volunteer groups which organise cultural and festive celebrations for the school community, such as the Cultural Fair and the Christmas Carnival.

From Sports Day to grade-level performances and more, there are plenty of opportunities for parents to get connected to the wider community and witness their child’s academic and extracurricular progress. One recent highlight of the year was Family Day, where parents could bond with the kids through fun-filled activities to strengthen relationships and foster a sense of belonging to the community.

Ready to experience this lively community for yourself? Register for their upcoming Open House to discover how OWIS’s warm and welcoming community can become your child’s home away from home.
