UCSI International School

UCSI Group is a corporate conglomerate active in diverse industries including education, consulting, healthcare, hotels and travel, real estate, retail, and technology. Since its establishment in 2003, UCSI’s education division has been recognized by the Malaysian Ministry of Education as a leading educational institution in Malaysia.

UCSI International School (UIS) adopts a comprehensive educational approach combining elements of “Cambridge (IGCSE)” and “International Primary Curriculum (IPC).” Students are required to understand concepts, participate in discussions, and apply learned knowledge to practical situations. This educational method promotes more practical learning beyond mere memorization, enabling students to apply knowledge to real life.

By focusing on nurturing curiosity, discussion, and problem-solving abilities, the school develops thinking skills applicable in various situations, preparing students to overcome challenges and succeed in the real world beyond the classroom. The integrated curriculum also serves as preparation for students aiming to obtain the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma in the future.

Key Features

1. Early Childhood Education (Ages 3-5)

For young children, the school adopts a curriculum incorporating a “learn through play” approach. This draws out children’s interests and curiosity while providing solid support for social and emotional development. Children build the foundation necessary for future growth while learning joyfully.

2. Primary Education (Years 1-6)

Primary education combines two internationally acclaimed curricula:

  • International Primary Curriculum (IPC): Theme-based learning that nurtures global perspectives and thinking.

This develops academic skills while honing creativity and critical thinking.

3. Secondary Education (Years 7-11)

Secondary education is divided into two stages: foundation building and university preparation:

  • Cambridge Secondary Curriculum (Years 7-9): Building a foundation for advanced learning while studying a wide range of subjects.
  • IGCSE Programme (Years 10-11): A program that allows students to obtain internationally recognized qualifications, opening doors to overseas universities and further education.

4. 21st Century Skills

The school firmly develops essential skills for the future—communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking. The latest technology education including programming and robotics is also enriched, cultivating the abilities children need to thrive in the future.

5. Emphasis on Personal Growth

Not only academic achievement, but learning important human values such as “integrity,” “compassion,” and “respect” is also a feature of this school. The school supports growth of the heart alongside academics, aiming for balanced education.
