Founded in 1991, OFS offers a supportive and inclusive environment for students aged 2 to 18, helping them settle in quickly and feel a strong sense of belonging. With a diverse community representing over 65 nationalities, the school celebrates cultural diversity while supporting students in maintaining their identities through more than 15 Mother Tongue programmes. OFS provides a continuous international pathway, from the IEYC and IPC through to Cambridge IGCSEs and the International Baccalaureate (IBMYP and IBDP), ensuring consistency for globally mobile students. Learning at OFS extends beyond the classroom. Students benefit from well-equipped science laboratories, creative art studios, and a large theatre, reflecting the school’s strong commitment to the performing arts. Annual productions bring together students of all ages, building confidence and collaboration. With excellent sports facilities and three annual Model United Nations conferences, OFS encourages students to stay active, think globally, and grow into well-rounded individuals.
