Building values for life


Education today helps to shape compassionate, adaptable global citizens with the values and skills to thrive.

SIS is shaping tomorrow’s global citizens with values

NELSON Mandela said it best: “Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world.”

His words ring even truer today, especially in a world that’s evolving faster than ever.

Education goes beyond acing exams – it’s about shaping compassionate, adaptable global citizens with the values and skills to thrive.

Sunway International Schools (SIS) is at the forefront of this mission, where academic excellence is paired with values students carry for life.

With campuses in Kuala Lumpur and Johor, SIS offers a unique mix of international programmes designed not only to help students succeed but also to grow into empathetic, resilient individuals.

In KL, proudly recognised as Malaysia's first GreenRE Platinum-certified school, SIS offers the Sunway Cambridge International Programme, the Canadian (Ontario) Programme, and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP).

Over in Johor, students can dive into the Canadian (Ontario) Programme and the International Baccalaureate Programmes all designed to inspire lifelong learning and a global mindset.

At SIS, education is more than what’s in the textbooks. It’s a journey shaped by core values like teamwork, kindness, caring, honesty, respect, and empathy—qualities that empower students to thrive and make a real difference in the world.

Teamwork

Teamwork fosters collaboration, boosting students' confidence and problem-solving skills through engaging group projects. These experiences promote cooperation and open-mindedness, empowering them to navigate a diverse global environment with integrity.

Kindness

Kindness enhances physical and emotional well-being, nurturing compassionate individuals. Through initiatives aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, such as supporting underprivileged communities and engaging in environmental campaigns, students are empowered to create positive change in their communities.

Caring

Caring experiences nurture self-esteem, safety, hope, and tolerance, laying the groundwork for responsible citizenship. By fostering a genuine concern for others, students develop empathy and compassion, cultivating a supportive and connected community.

Honesty

Honesty builds trust and a strong moral compass, empowering future generations to make informed and ethical choices. Students learn the value of truthfulness in their interactions, strengthening relationships and creating a supportive community where everyone feels valued.

Respect

Respect nurtures empathy and understanding, paving the way for positive relationships and tolerance for all backgrounds. At SIS, everyone—from teachers to staff—practises respect, fostering an inclusive environment that values diverse perspectives and encourages students to embrace differences as they grow into compassionate leaders.

Empathy

Empathy helps children connect with others and act with compassion, shaping them into inclusive leaders. By embracing different perspectives, students foster community and social responsibility, gaining the emotional intelligence needed to prioritise the well-being of those around them.

Foundation for life

SIS Kuala Lumpur principal, Richard Thomas Cherry shared, “At SIS, education transcends the curriculum; it’s about nurturing compassionate, responsible, and curious minds.

“Our dedicated teachers seamlessly integrate core values such as kindness, empathy, and respect into every lesson, transforming each class into an enriching experience that develops character alongside academic knowledge.

“In our forward-thinking environment, students are equipped not only with future-ready qualifications but also values that last a lifetime.

“The world needs leaders who embody both intellect and empathy, and SIS is committed to providing quality education, championing inclusion and creating opportunities for every student.”

As the January 2025 intake opens, prospective students and parents are invited to explore a diverse range of programmes and experience the vibrant atmosphere of the campuses in both KL and Johor.

At SIS, education ensures that students acquire qualifications for the future while embracing values they will carry for life.
