| Qualities and characteristics best defining the school |
Located in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, we proudly carry forward the rich 300-year Lasallian tradition, inspired by the vision of St. John Baptist de La Salle. Our affiliation with St. Joseph’s Institution International School in Singapore allows us to share valuable expertise and resources, enhancing the educational experiences we provide. Additionally, as part of the Lasallian East Asia District (LEAD), we collaborate with other Lasallian institutions across Asia, reinforcing our commitment to delivering a high-quality, holistic education that fosters character, compassion, and a love for lifelong learning. At SJIIS, we stand firmly on the five principles of Lasallian Education: inclusivity, respect for all individuals, excellence in teaching, faith in the divine, and a heartfelt concern for the poor and social justice. Our comprehensive curriculum is thoughtfully designed to meet the developmental needs of students at every stage, from Early Years (ages 3-5) and Elementary School (ages 6-11) to High School (ages 11-18). We offer a vibrant mix of the UK National Curriculum, daily Mandarin lessons, Singapore Math, and IGCSE and A Level options. In addition to academic excellence, we champion participation in a diverse array of co-curricular activities. Through our memberships in AIMS and FOBISIA, we provide exceptional opportunities for achievement in sports, the arts, and academic pursuits, encouraging every student to thrive and excel. |
