What exactly warrants a switch?

Innovative Curriculum

There are a lot of good reasons to consider changing schools. Maybe are concerned with how your school has dealt with the pandemic and are looking for a school that has successful ways of teaching both in person and at a distance. Perhaps your child is dealing with social issues and you’re looking for a more positive atmosphere.

Many families desire a nurturing environment that focuses on academic preparedness, as well as social and emotional growth - where children gain confidence to pursue their unique passions. Parents and students alike want to know they are going to find community and receive the support they need on their educational journey.

“Alice Smith constantly encourages us to be inquisitive and to be creative, and I think it is here where students are cultivated to be curious and to always think outside the box.” - Valerie Ho, Alice Smith Scholar, 2017 - 2019, University of Warwick (CIMB ASEAN Scholarship)

1. Our Transferable British Curriculum

At Alice Smith, we utilise a curriculum modelled on the British National Curriculum to ensure your children receive an internationally recognised education that will prepare them for any path they choose.

Our innovative approach to a traditional British education helps our students foster character, emotional intelligence and grit.

One advantage of utilising a curriculum that is widely used internationally is the ease at which our students are able to adapt to learning environments elsewhere.

Our curriculum is designed so students can easily pick up their education no matter where they end up in the world.

2. Our Quality Teaching Staff

Through an innovative, 21st-century approach to the traditional British Curriculum and purposefully-built facilities, we attract a world-class teaching staff with a significant percentage of them being expat teachers.

Each member of our team have the following five characteristics:

  1. A love of working with young people

5. Prime Location with Modern School Transportation

Prime Location with Modern School Transportation

Our Primary and Secondary Campuses are located only 20 minutes from one another. They are also a short distance away from Kuala Lumpur’s exciting city centre with the Secondary Campus just over a 30 minute drive and the Primary Campus only 10 minutes away from the downtown core.

“The travel times are very manageable and although the Secondary Campus is further away geographically, because of the new highway and the fact we are heading out of the city we experience much less traffic, it is only about 10 minutes extra travel time.

- Andrea Grassby, a mother of children attending both campuses at the Alice Smith School
