What Sets This School Apart
At Overseas Family School, we are committed to creating an inclusive and supportive learning environment where all our students can dream, achieve and succeed.
Academic programs at Overseas Family School are rigorous and thoughtfully-designed. We take great pride in our students’ academic achievements. Our highly-acclaimed International Baccalaureate Middle Years and Diploma Programs (IB MYP and IB DP) immerse students in a wide range of stimulating course offerings designed to help them make practical connections between their learning and the outside world. OFS achieved an IB Diploma average of 36 in the May 2026 exam session, with a 95% pass rate. Two students achieved a perfect score of 45 points, seven students achieved an exceptional score of 44 points, 28% scored 40 points or above, 60% scored 35 points or above, 91% scored 30 points or above, and 34% earned the IB Bilingual Diploma. These results are especially remarkable in light of OFS’ inclusive, open-entry admissions and exams policies. Because it believes that every student can succeed, OFS students are not preselected into the Diploma program. Any student who wishes to pursue the IB Diploma program is allowed and encouraged to do so, making this one of the most inclusive and successful IB Diploma programs offered in Singapore.
Exciting New Developments
Navigating the university application process can be daunting for any student, particularly when applying to highly selective universities. Now in its sixth year, OFS’ Prestigious University Program (PUP) provides students with personalised support and guidance to help them prepare for competitive university applications. Building on the school’s Academic Advisor support, the Program works with shortlisted students as early as Grade 9 and supports them throughout High School with areas such as extracurricular planning, application essays and interview preparation.
OFS Tigers gymnasts competed at the Junior and Senior National Championships, with Level 4 gymnast Aadya Anand placing 7th on Vault and finishing in the top 15 All-around. In Season 3, OFS achieved an overall inclusion rate of 88.2%, meaning that nearly nine out of every 10 students who tried out went on to represent the school on a team.
