Background & Services

Well positioned in the education township of Bandar Springhill, Port Dickson, the UCSI International School (UIS) will soon open its doors with a unique proposition: Full boarding for all its students.

As the first boarding school offering the full array of International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes in Malaysia, UIS recognises that the story of one's life is intertwined with the narrative of the larger community. Being in the right one is essential and at UIS, that community comprises an international cohort of boarders and their educators.

Well-travelled and global in their outlook, UIS educators – both local and expatriate – know how tough moving can be and a homely environment will be fostered on campus. Delving deeper, UIS aims to celebrate diversity and our educators are more than capable of adapting to different learning styles, interests, aptitudes and cultural sensitivities.

The invaluable experience of learning, living and improving together – while being self-reliant – will provide our students with a different take on the socialisation process and they will acquire a greater appreciation of independence and interdependence as they mature.

Located away from the hustle and bustle of the city, UIS' 20-acre campus offers conduciveness and students can focus on their studies without having to navigate a minefield of distractions. Equipped with tennis courts, a football field and an Olympic-sized swimming pool, there is so much one can do at UIS and this sets the stage for a holistic – and uninterrupted – learning experience.

Open to students aged 6 to 19, UIS will offer the IB's Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma programmes. Continuity is assured and parents can rest assured that their child's education needs will be taken care of. From an academic perspective, the IB is held in high regard and deserving graduates of the Diploma programme often gain admission to renowned varsities.

The IB's mission statement to equip learners with a contemporary intercultural understanding also fits nicely with the UIS ethos and learners will be taught how to respect differing opinions as they form consensus-based decisions. Additionally, the IB's inquiry-based learning approach sets students on the right path as they focus on how – and not what- to learn.

Like the proverbial city on a hill – which is precisely where it is located – UIS aims to be a place where education and aspiration go hand in hand. Learning should be fun and if life is likened to a game, everyone can be a winner. So together, let's win.
