Odyssey


The Global


Preschool


A family’s perspective
Parents: Anthony and Serene Glee son
Children: Edith (4) and Emily (2)


We’ve been living in Singapore for
over 10 years. We were keen to have
our children brought up to be bilingual, so an English and Chinese
curriculum was paramount when it came to selecting schools. We
spent a long time looking for the right school. With indoor and
outdoor play areas, gardens and proximity to Pasir Ris Park, Odyssey
de Loyang was an easy choice.
Our children enjoy the walks to Pasir Ris Park and enrichment
classes such as ballet, football and gym. They also really enjoy
family days, setting up food stalls with baking goods and selling
them to friends and parents. It’s great that the children are able to
spend time outside of the classroom on the lawn and in the garden.
Having quality outdoor time is sometimes hard to come by in a
busy city like Singapore.

A WORD FROM
THE SCHOOL
Our award-winning
curriculum is specifically aimed
at exploratory and self-guided
learning in a Reggio Emilia-
inspired campus equipped for an
inquiry-based approach, which
draws on children’s natural
desire to learn and explore.
Beyond qualified teaching staff,
the school has also invested in a
team of specialists to supervise,
tailor and curate unique learning
experiences for every child. Led
by senior programme mentors
and centre directors who hold
at least a master’s degree, these
vocationally-trained specialists
contribute their broad expertise
to promote holistic and creative
development in children.

WHAT’S NEW?
To mark Odyssey’s 10th
year anniversary, this year’s
Colours of Odyssey charity
art exhibition, Exhibition X,
reminisces on the evolution of
the children’s artistry over 10
years. Children will provide their
perspectives on past themes
and interpretations of their
creations. Find out more about
the celebrations on the school
website.
