Overseas Family School: A model for educational chess in Singapore 🇸🇬♟️
In 2026, designated as the FIDE Year of Chess in Education, the FIDE Chess in Education Commission is actively engaged in initiatives that promote the value and benefits of integrating chess into school curricula worldwide. Part of this initiative is to visit school sites that have a history of success in integrating chess as part of their school curriculum so that we can learn what makes the program a success. The hope is that we can bring those ideas back to our local programs and implement or scale chess programs in schools.
The FIDE EDU recently sent a delegation of commission members, instructors, educators, and federation representatives to Singapore to visit Overseas Family School (OFS), an international school with approximately 3,000 students in grades K-12 from over 70 countries. In the educational chess community, OFS has earned a stellar reputation as a model of educational chess, or chess used as a learning tool to enhance 21st-century skills in the classroom and beyond. As a 2024 recipient of the FIDE Gold School Award, OFS provided the ideal setting to observe how chess can be seamlessly integrated into a school’s academic culture.
