Yes, our teachers are native speakers.

We provide English as an Additional Language (EAL) support for students whose first language is not English. For other languages, additional classes can be arranged after school hours if required.

Malay, Mandarin, Spanish, French (and Dutch if there is a demand).

15-20 students

7-10 students

At this moment we do not.

We avoid excessive use as students still prefer text- and workbooks and to reduce screen fatigue. Some examples of using technology is during robotics, coding, electronic music, composing, and newsletter publications.

Yes, if there is another pandemic. Our teachers are all comfortable with technology.

No, but Bible study and Islamic classes are available (optional) outside of regular school hours.

The Bible study and Islamic classes are conducted once a week before the regular classes begin. Other students that have arrived in school have reading time, or homework guidance time.

IGCSE

So far excellent / good. The students in SISS approach the exams in a different way. They take accountability of their learning and the exam period is a feedback moment for the students so they themselves can assess whether they are on track and/or whether some corrections in their learning / understanding should be made.

Yes we do, but only if they are unable to complete their task in class. We try to guide the students with their work during class.

An hour

We just started SISS in 2025, so we have yet to see our first batch of graduates — which will happen in 2026.

We need to assess whether we can help these students or whether we need to refer them to a more specialised school (mostly smaller class sized schools) as we are not a specialist on special needs. If we can work with the students, we will do our best to communicate with the student and parents on a regular basis to support the students' need, and with any other developmental specialist that the student may have outside of school.

See above.

If possible, they will have more challenging work and assignments, they can coach the other students if they need guidance. But they will remain doing group work as much as possible, to enhance their ability to work in a team.

If needed, we will refer them to (an) external party/parties.

Yes, we do - CAT4 and our internal English, Math and Science assessment if we deem necessary.

Students will have to sit for a CAT4 Assessment and if necessary, an English, Maths and Science paper before enrolling. We will invite the parents and students to come in after the assessment and we will go through in detail with both the parties. If there are some concerns, we will stipulate an action plan with them.

Not at the moment.

We are on a rolling enrollment basis.

Our school is in a safe and secure environment where uninvited guests / strangers may not enter without permission. We do not have supervised care but students specifically but they are able to wait inside the school for their transport to arrive. In the mornings, there is a drop off / pick up point where teachers are stationed.

Yes. We have transporters that we are working with if parents require help with transportation .

Not yet (as in competing against other schools) - It is in the pipe line. Although we have internal tournaments where our students can compete against each other (individually or team). During our SISS Sports Day we let our students be exposed to the wonderful sport of Pentathlon - guided by Coach Noraseela Mohd Khalid - our Malaysian Olympic pride - 400 meter hurdles.

At Summer International Secondary School, we believe education should go beyond memorisation. Inspired by the Dutch approach, we emphasise creativity, collaboration, and real-world learning. Our inclusive community encourages students to explore their passion, think critically, and develop resilience. With a strong focus on mental and emotional well-being, SISS prepares young people not only for academic success but also to become innovative, compassionate, and globally minded citizens. Happiness is the key to Success!

At SISS, teaching is student-centred and inspired by the Dutch approach, where creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking are at the heart of every lesson. We use project-based and problem-based learning to connect education with the real world, while encouraging teamwork, leadership, and innovation. Our aim is to nurture confident, curious learners with a lifelong love for reading and discovery.
