Early Years
Our Preschool / Kindergarten is a half-day programme. The main focus of our Preschool programme is learning through play. We adopt a hands-on approach to learning which allows the child to have fun exploring the world, while developing their physical, cognitive and social skills in a creative way.
The Kindergarten will be following the Early Years programme of the International Primary Curriculum based on the British National Curriculum. While this programme allows for learning through play, it provides a sound basis for entry to either the international or Malaysian school.
The Primary School
Primary school students in the international school follow the International Primary Curriculum (IPC). This brand new curriculum development is being rapidly taken up by international primary schools all over the world. The IPC is based on the British National Curriculum but is adapted for international students. It follows a child-centred thematic approach but with rigorous assessment ensuring that each child not only enjoys assessment ensuring that each child not only enjoys his/her schooling but also attains the highest possible standards. External assessment at the end of Key Stage 2 is through Cambridge International Primary Programme Test administered by Cambridge International Examinations.
The Secondary School
Secondary school students in the international school follow the programmes of study of the British National Curriculum appropriately modified for international students. To the end of Key Stage 3 (age 14), all students study the core subjects of English, Mathematics, Science and Information Communication Technology (ICT) together with Geography, History, Design & Technology, Music, Drama, PE, Art and two further languages (one of which will be Bahasa Malaysia and Mandarin is encouraged as the second). External assessment at the end of Key Stage 3 is through the Checkpoint tests administered by Cambridge International Examinations.
In Key Stage 4 (Years 10 & 11), students in the international school choose from a range of courses leading to the IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) examinations. All students follow courses in English, Mathematics and ICT and must choose at least one science. A range of other subjects including Geography, History, Business Studies, Economics, Art, Malay, Mandarin, Design & Technology and Additional Mathematics are also available.
At both secondary key stages, a programme of Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) is also provided to all students and, in addition, all Muslim students are required to take lessons in Agama.
