Outstanding Reputation
Outstanding reputation since 1980.
As a young teacher, Lorna taught in the UK before coming to Malaysia and Singapore to teach with the British Armed Forces. Later she taught at international schools in Singapore and became a School Principal in 1971. In 1980, Lorna Whiston opened the first Lorna Whiston centre with the aim of improving the standard of English language among Singaporean students.
Since then, Lorna Whiston Schools has built a reputation for high-quality education and teaching excellence across Singapore and Malaysia with our signature English Enrichment and Speech & Drama programmes, as well as our Preschools.
With decades of experience operating within the education industry, we are a thought leader in the field of education.
21st Century Skills
In this globally and digitally connected world, our students need to know a myriad of new skills to succeed in life. Our Real Learning Curriculum TM has been designed to provide students with the opportunity to learn 21st Century Skills in authentic situations so that they will be successful at school, at work and in life. Our classrooms are future focused and we believe in empowering our students with skills that they can use to thrive in a world where change is constant and learning is a lifelong process.
WHOLE CHILD FOCUS
It is our desire to better equip our students with essential soft skills that they will need in to be global collaborators, knowledge constructors and creative communicators. In our premium enrichment classes, we focus on the following social-emotional skills: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship management and responsible decision-making.
Mindfulness is an important element of our daily timetable as it helps students learn to reduce stress and improves their resilience as they are more able to make responsible decisions once they know how to cope with their emotions.
