It’s a wrap for THIMUN Singapore 2025! 🌐

From 27 to 31 October, IFS had the honour of hosting this year’s edition of THIMUN Singapore, an incredible week of diplomacy, debate, and collaboration on our campus! 🤝

Over 350 delegates from schools around the world, including around 30 IFS students, came together to engage in meaningful discussions on global issues such as human rights, sustainability, and artificial intelligence. 💬

This year’s special focus on “The Impact of AI on Humanity” sparked insightful reflections on how technology is reshaping our societies. 🤖

A huge thank you to all the participants, the IFS volunteers, the Ambassadors, the teachers and mentors, and all the staff who made this event such a success. 🙏

A special mention to the amazing THIMUN Press Team, including our very own IFS students, for capturing every highlight of this inspiring week. 🎥

Here’s to collaboration, curiosity, and the future leaders shaping a better world! 💫

Learning French, step by step, with joy and confidence at IFS! 💫

At the International French School (Singapore), we know that learning a new language is an adventure, especially for our youngest learners!

When children join our Kindergarten without speaking French yet, they begin a natural journey of discovery. First, they listen, observe, and gradually start to speak, each at their own rhythm. This “silent period” is not a delay, but a healthy and important stage of language development.

What matters most is confidence and the joy of learning! 💛 Because language is more than words, it’s connection and the joy of growing together in a caring bilingual community.

Our teachers work hand in hand with families to make this process both fun and reassuring, through songs, play, routines, and gentle encouragement. We celebrate every word, every smile, every little step forward.

« La joie d’apprendre commence par le plaisir de découvrir. »

A Morning in Spain, Without Leaving Singapore! 🇪🇸

On October 16, at Jewel Changi Airport📍our Terminales LVC Spanish students immersed themselves in a vibrant Spanish world during “Little Spain at Jewel”, guided by their Spanish teacher and a native Spanish speaker.

For four hours, they practiced their Spanish, discovered the richness of Spanish culture, and experienced a little piece of Spain, right here in Singapore!

Thanks to this pop-up event organized by the Spain Tourism Board, students enjoyed colorful exhibits, and real conversations that brought the language to life.

💃 From lively dance moves to cultural discoveries, it was a joyful, hands-on way to live Spanish, not just study it!

“El español no solo se estudia, se vive.”

Thriving in a Multilingual Education: IFS Students Learning Mandarin along with French & English 👩‍🏫

At IFS, students develop their skills in Mandarin, alongside French and English from the early years. This year, our young learners will spend more time learning Mandarin, giving them increasing opportunities to dive into the language and culture.

They are already learning practical skills such as:
Differentiating genders (“I am a girl” - “I am a boy”)
Introducing themselves and sharing their age
Asking and answering simple questions such as “What’s your name?”
Writing dates - reproducing Chinese characters

With smaller class sizes, our teachers can focus more closely on each child, adapting the pace and learning approach to meet individual needs. This personalized attention helps students grow in confidence, curiosity, and joy for learning.

« Chaque langue est un voyage qui commence par un mot. »

An Unforgettable Cultural Journey to Vietnam! 🇻🇳

For the first time this year, our Seconde students embarked on a memorable trip to Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta, a brand-new destination for students at IFS!

From exploring the bustling streets of Saigon through a fun city scavenger hunt, to visiting the War Museum and the local Market, every moment was a chance to discover Vietnam’s rich history and culture.

They learned how to cook authentic Vietnamese dishes 👩‍🍳, took part in food tastings, and even practiced Viet Vo Dao. 🥋

Students also attended an inspiring conference on the role of women in Vietnamese history and society, deepening their understanding of the country’s social culture.

In the Mekong Delta, our students navigated the mangroves by boat and bicycle, met local schoolchildren, and enjoyed beautiful moments of music and cultural exchange in Vinh Long.🚲

A journey filled with discovery, connection, and unforgettable memories! 💛
