About the Course
Elevate Your Child’s Writing to Singapore Standards with STARLITE
Singapore’s education system is globally recognised for its excellence, especially in developing well-rounded students with strong writing skills. That’s why families from across Asia and beyond choose Singapore as a place to nurture their children’s academic growth. At Writers Studio School of English, we take pride in adhering to these high standards with our STARLITE Integrated Creative Writing Course.
A Global Reach in a Local Context
Our online STARLITE course is not just for Singapore-based students. We have successfully helped children from a wide range of countries, including Korea, China, Thailand, Russia, India, Japan and Hong Kong, to develop strong writing skills that are aligned with the best of Singapore’s educational practices. Over 40% of our students come from international backgrounds, representing a diverse mix of nationalities and cultural perspectives. Our online Starlite program offers all students, no matter where they are from, the opportunity to experience the top-tier education that Singapore is known for.
Creative Writing, Engaging Reading and Practical Exercises
Each lesson mixes creative writing with interactive reading and story writing activities. Students first get to be inspired by exciting stories and apply useful writing techniques to improve their own writing. A consistent approach helps them become more vested and more adept at creative writing.
Strong Vocabulary Development
Targeted vocabulary lessons help students grow their language skills for better storytelling. Equipped with a stronger set of creative phrases in their repertoire, students can make their stories more interesting and purposeful. After all, stories are crafted to convey a central message, and every technique and word choice is carefully selected to support and amplify that purpose.
Step-by-Step Essential Skill Building
STARLITE uses a simple, step-by-step approach to help students improve their writing. They start with easy ideas and gradually work up to more complex ones. This method makes learning easier and builds strong writing skills. Co-developed by our teachers with experience in the MOE and those trained in psychology, the STARLITE online writing methods help instil confidence in children and empower them to present their writing with courage.
Practice-Based Approach with Latest Educational Trends
The STARLITE course adopts a hands-on learning approach, emphasising real practice. Building on the strong results our school has achieved through various writing programmes, STARLITE has been designed to guide your child toward success in the same way—only now, it’s online. The online format makes consistent practice even more crucial. Through active learning, students develop valuable writing skills that they can apply both in school and beyond.
A Proven Track Record of Success
The peak of our online lessons was reached during the COVID-19 period, when our teachers successfully taught hundreds of students while achieving our best record in creative writing instruction. Since then, online teaching has remained a key part of our curriculum, evolving into a hybrid model with both onsite and online students. However, STARLITE distinguishes online teaching from onsite lessons to ensure that virtual students receive dedicated attention. We offer a wide range of creative writing techniques tailored specifically for online learners, designed to enhance their performance and keep them engaged with dynamic interactions between the teacher and classmates. By focusing on the unique needs of each student, we ensure that learners from Singapore, Southeast Asia, and beyond benefit from our course. We are proud to continue fostering a learning environment that nurtures every child’s potential.

Who are the teachers?
A common setback is that many teachers who are more skilled in delivering physical lessons are now being assigned online teaching roles, and they often struggle to adapt. At Writers Studio, we differentiate our online and onsite teachers to ensure that only those who are well-versed in teaching online students—and have received positive feedback—are given dedicated online teaching roles. This approach ensures that our online learners receive the high-quality instruction they deserve, delivered by teachers who excel in the virtual classroom.
