About UCSI International School Sdn Bhd

The UCSI Schools Group has 3 campuses in Malaysia: Kuala Lumpur Campus, Subang Jaya Campus, and Springhill Campus. Two of its campuses focus on the British school curriculum, while the other one offers the IB. While maintaining a strong focus on core curriculum including British school curriculum with Cambridge IGCSE and International Primary Curriculum, we aim to complement the formal curriculum with a series of CCAs, which form a cornerstone of students’ holistic education for the 21st century.

The rapid advancement of technological innovations, global competition, and a push towards a knowledge-based economy require our students to learn a repertoire of soft and hard skills to succeed in a future economy that is still in development. Through our unique CCA experiences, students develop soft skills like creativity, leadership, teamwork, flexibility, communication, resilience, and an enterprising spirit to stay relevant for the future.

UCSI International School emphasizes eight critical characteristics in our learning content and experiences. We prioritize Character Education, Global Citizen Skills, Problem-based Collaborative Learning, and co-curricular activities to provide a truly holistic education for the 21st century. Our education aims not only for academic and creative excellence but also to equip students with 21st-century skills such as character, communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking, while fostering virtues like integrity, honesty, and empathy. We believe that students with a strong moral compass and practical wisdom will make positive impacts in a challenging world.
