It wasn’t just Overseas Family School’s IB Diploma Programme results that got the school its first Gold in the Singapore Education Awards; the judges were impressed with its overall IB experience and offerings too.
We’re thrilled to share that Overseas Family School (OFS) won Gold at the Singapore Education Awards 2026/2027’s The Curriculum Awards (International Baccalaureate) category, cementing its place among Singapore’s best IB schools.
Outstanding IB Diploma Programme (IBDP) results, robust teaching standards, inclusive support for every student – these are some of the winning points that wowed our judges. What’s more, OFS is an academically non-selective international school that allows all students to take the IBDP, regardless of their academic performance. This makes the win all the more impressive.
OFS offers students a distinctive IB experience
OFS believes that the IBDP should be an opportunity for every student, not just those who are already academically strong. With this in mind, the school goes the extra mile to create an environment where every student can succeed.
Teachers play an important role in this. OFS has a faculty of experienced teachers who have been with the school for years. This means familiarity with the school’s approach as well as deep knowledge of the IB curriculum. OFS teachers are able to adapt, support, and challenge each student according to their individual needs.
Academically, teachers encourage students to become independent, reflective thinkers by constantly asking them to question assumptions, evaluate evidence, and consider different perspectives. The school also offers the IB Middle Years Programme in Grades 6-10, alongside IGCSE courses in Grades 9-10, helping students build strong foundations for the IBDP.
At the same time, OFS is also equipped to offer additional, specialist support to students who require it. For example, IBDP candidates who are struggling with English proficiency are given English acquisition support while continuing the IB. Wellbeing is also prioritised, with counsellors and academic advisors working closely with students and their families to ensure every child finds a sense of belonging in the school.
The results speak for themselves
OFS boasts an average of 36 points for the May 2026 IBDP results, well above the global average of 30.88. The school consistently produces perfect scorers, with two students from the 2026 cohort scoring 45/45. Seven students achieved 44 points, with a total of 28% of the cohort achieving 40+ points. Super impressive for a non-selective international school!
Congratulations to Overseas Family School, so well deserved!
