Lorna Whiston is a Singapore-based education group offering preschool, enrichment, and student care programmes, with every centre 100% owned and operated by Lorna Whiston Schools rather than franchised. The group states it has 45 years of expertise and 70,000 alumni, with a broader presence across Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand.
The preschool programme serves children from 18 months to 6 years old, structured across Playgroup, Nursery 1, Nursery 2, Kindergarten 1, and Kindergarten 2, with K2 graduates prepared up to Primary 2 level for local MOE schools. Lessons are delivered by an international teaching team spanning more than 10 nationalities, with every subject taught by a dedicated subject expert to encourage class participation and confident speaking. The curriculum is rounded out with Lorna Whiston Masterclasses in art, music, sports, and taekwondo, led by Master Teachers who are established subject experts.
Beyond preschool, Lorna Whiston offers a range of enrichment programmes — including English Enrichment, Speech & Drama, Trinity Drama, Fun with Phonics, LW Online, LW Camps, and Dare to Rise — along with dedicated Student Care services. Preschool campuses in Singapore include East Coast, Greenwich, Kallang Wave, Canberra, and Hort Park, while Enrichment and Student Care are offered at Greenwich, Marine Parade, and United Square.
Lorna Whiston positions itself around "world-class education," built over 45 years of operation and a base of 70,000 alumni. Every centre is stated to be 100% owned and operated by Lorna Whiston Schools rather than franchised, and the group has a wider regional presence beyond Singapore, with sites in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand.
Lorna Whiston's preschool caters to children from 18 months to 6 years old, structured across five stages: Playgroup (18 months-2 years), Nursery 1 (2-3 years), Nursery 2 (3-4 years), Kindergarten 1 (4-5 years), and Kindergarten 2 (5-6 years). K2 graduates are prepared up to Primary 2 level for local MOE schools, while also being exposed to broader learning in art, music, sports, and taekwondo through the school's Masterclass programme, led by Master Teachers who are established subject experts. Preschool campuses in Singapore include East Coast, Greenwich, Kallang Wave, Canberra, and Hort Park.
Lessons are delivered by an experienced team of international teachers representing more than 10 different nationalities, giving students exposure to a genuinely international educational environment. Every subject is taught by a dedicated subject expert, with a teaching style designed to encourage class participation and inquisitive learning — the school notes that even on their first day, new students at its Greenwich campus were already speaking up more than they had in previous classroom settings.
Beyond the preschool programme, Lorna Whiston runs a range of enrichment offerings: English Enrichment, Speech & Drama, Trinity Drama, Fun with Phonics, LW Online, LW Camps, and Dare to Rise, alongside a broader philosophy around "rethinking English tuition." These enrichment programmes are run out of Greenwich (Weekend Enrichment), Marine Parade, and United Square. The same three locations — Greenwich, Marine Parade, and United Square — also offer dedicated Student Care services, each with its own curriculum overview.
