With the addition of its Foundation Plus program, Wise Oaks ensures a seamless transition into formal education, fostering a passion for lifelong learning while preparing students for future academic success.

Foundation Plus Program: Reception Year Program (RYP)

At Wise Oaks, the academic journey begins with the Foundation Plus - Reception Year Program (RYP), a bridging course for students aged 4-5 before entering Grade 1. This program stimulates imagination and creativity while laying a strong foundation in English and mathematics. Through play-based learning and an emphasis on social skills and self-discovery, the RYP prepares students for the academic rigour of Cambridge Primary 1. By nurturing these early skills, students confidently transition into the formal school setting, equipped for success.

Wise Oaks unique curriculum offering includes:

Singapore Mathematics

The Singapore mathematicsis known for its highly effective teaching approach originally developed by Singapore’s Ministry of Education for Singapore public schools. The method has been widely adopted in various forms around the world over the past twenty years. As per a recent study, Singapore students ranked among the top performers outperforming their peers from 71 other countries in International Math competitions. At Wise Oaks International school, we have opted for Singapore maths because we think that all our students and parents should have access to this effective teaching and learning approach. All our programs preserve the techniques, sequencing, and rigour that define Singapore math.

Get Reading Right (GRR)

Another dominant program offered by Wise Oaks is the ‘Get Reading Right’ program.In our Get Reading Right program, the integrated phonics approach teaches your child to form word sounds by blending phonemes (i.e., the smallest unit of sound) and graphemes (i.e., a way of writing phonemes). As your child learns to better understand the text, he/she begins to read and write more confidently, he/she will bebetter able to express thoughts, ideas and emotions when communicating with others.
With the Wise Oaks GRR program, your child will continue building on the five essentials of reading development. With more developed skills, your child will be exposed to a wide range of text formats and learn to read independently.

Global perspective

The subject, Global Perspectives at Wise Oaks is a stimulating course that stretches across traditional subject boundaries and develops transferable skills. It is both cross-curricular and skills-based and taps into the way learners of today enjoy learning, including team work, presentations, projects, and working with other learners around the world. The emphasis is on developing the ability to think critically about a range of global issues where there is always more than one point of view.
True to its name, Wise Oaks places an emphasis on the wholesome growth of a learner instead of emphasizing only specific parts of human experience.Wise Oaks International School, with its Cambridge curriculum enhanced by Singapore Math, and the Get Reading Right Program provides its students the best of both worlds.
