Commencing with the playgroup, the school goes on to Elementary, Primary, Junior and High School. There are Headmistresses in charge of each section with the Senior School coming directly under the supervision of the Principal. In addition, the School provides for a wide range of sports activities. The School Sports Meet, Swimming Meet and Annual Cricket encounter with CIS are the highlights of the school's sporting calendar. In addition the students participate in Basketball, Netball and Soccer training, playing fixtures with other international schools.
There is also provision for extramural activities in a number of clubs such as the Science Association, Maths Club, Chess Club, Drama Club, Interact Club and Arts Society. Every student is encouraged to join one of those clubs. Religious associations to cater to the multi-religious student population of the school also exist viz the Christian, Hindu, Muslim and Buddhist societies.
While children learn to care for and share with others, the annual Christmas programme, Wesak Bakti Gee, and the Muslim 'Ifthar' are events patronized by the students of all religions! The school also has an annual Cultural Day in which students of Wycherley who belong to diverse ethnic groups, local and foreign, participate.
