Wider Learning

Learning can happen in many different ways and in many different settings. From language development to holiday programmes and hands-on learning, we provide activities and support for students to grow and enjoy their time in IDRISSI.

Summer School

A special school-break programme designed for learning, exploration and fun before the new academic year. Summer School is open to students as young as 4 until 12 years old.

Early Years Get Messy

Our Early Years students are encouraged to explore, experiment and learn through hands-on experiences. Every activity is designed to support their creativity and development in a fun and nurturing environment.

Our Prefectorial Board

Head Prefect

Leads the Prefectorial Board with vision, integrity, and responsibility, serving as a role model and a key bridge between students and the school community.

Assistant Head Prefect

Works closely with the Head Prefect to inspire teamwork, strengthen student leadership, and ensure the effective functioning of the Prefectorial Board.

Librarian

Help manage the school library, keep books and resources organised, and maintain a welcoming learning space.

Wellbeing & Support

Nurturing the whole child is important in our educational journey, so we make time for their emotional, social and personal wellbeing too. We want them to feel that they belong, that they can talk to someone when they need help and that they have people around them who care.

Counselling

Our counselling support gives students a safe and comfortable space to talk, be heard and work through challenges with guidance from our attentive counselors.

Healthcare

Our healthcare support helps to look after students when they are unwell or need medical attention during the school day, giving parents peace of mind that their children are cared for.

Library

Our library provides a welcoming space for students to become independent learners by discovering information through a wide range of books and learning resources.

Excursion

School excursions are part of our holistic curriculum, with two excursions each term for our Early Years to Primary students! From visiting historical landmarks to exploring natural ecosystems and many more, this enriching experience is the perfect platform for students to see, touch, hear and interact with the world around them.

Sports

There is plenty to learn on the field and the court too. Through training, games and competitions, students stay active, take on challenges and work as a team. Most of our students also represent IDRISSI in the Majlis Sukan Sekolah Daerah (MSSD) where they put these skills into practice and gain valuable experience in competitive sports.

Value Education Programme (VEP)

Imagine a world where the young generation is not only academically brilliant but also emotionally intelligent, practising virtuous traits such as kindness, compassion, respect and empathy. Value Education Programme, or known as VEP is a character-building programme that emphasises on social-emotional learning skills, where students learn to create meaningful connections with everyone around them. Good values are instilled in a variety of activities for the students to be involved in such as the Cookout to share recipes among friends, Charity Bake Sale to raise funds for the needy, visits to Charity Homes and many more.

STEM Robotics

IDRISSI International School is the first international school in Malaysia to implement STEM with Robotics Curriculum. The curriculum is accredited and certified by Global STEM Alliance (GSA) and International Technology and Engineering Educators Association (ITEEA). Through hands-on and creative learning, students explore engineering concepts, design, coding, and problem-solving using STEM-friendly robots. Rather than learning in theory alone, students are challenged to develop robots that solve real, everyday problems which helps foster their interest in subjects like Mathematics, Coding, Engineering, Science and Technology, all of which lead to innovation.

Junior Award Scheme for Schools (JASS)

The JASS Programme is an internationally recognised, accredited progressive learning programme offered to students aged 10–14, designed to develop well-rounded character and a sense of purpose beyond the classroom. It gives our students an edge over the rest in their education portfolio. Fully aligned with current educational thinking and IDRISSI’s outdoor learning strategy, the programme recognises growth across four key areas:

FLiP (Year 3 to Year 6)

FLiP is IDRISSI’s Financial Literacy Programme, developed in partnership with MoneyTree Asia Pacific, one of the region’s leading financial education providers. Unlike most Malaysian schools that offer financial literacy as an elective, we teach it as a core part of our curriculum. Our teachers are trained and certified by MoneyTree, equipping students with real money skills, which include budgeting, saving, understanding debt, investing and the importance of giving. We believe that a child who understands money grows into an adult who is responsible, generous, and financially free.

Eco Scouts and Eco Programme

Learning at IDRISSI goes far beyond the classroom. Our students explore the wider world and apply their knowledge through hands-on experiences in our outdoor learning spaces. Eco Programme is a dedicated subject within our curriculum, while Eco Scouts runs every Friday for Year 1 to Year 3, where students take part in activities like making self-watering planters, rainwater harvesting, patch farming, recycling and more. Through these experiences, they discover firsthand how even the smallest actions can make a big impact on the environment.

Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award (DofE)

As the continuity of the JASS programme, students will participate in The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE), an international leading achievement award programme for students aged 14 and above. The programme is fully aligned with current educational thinking and IDRISSI’s outdoor learning strategy. It is internationally recognised and will give our students an edge over the rest in their education portfolio.

Archery

Another customised subject we include in our curriculum is Skill and Fill, where students learn traditional Turkish Archery from trainers certified by the Yunus Emre Institute (world-wide non-profit organisation by the Turkish government) and the Okçular Vakfi (Archers’ Foundation of Turkey). The traditional sport is being taught together with its underlying historical, athletic, artistic, cultural and educational values. Being focused, confident and having a good sense of coordination are some of the positive values students can benefit from the programme.
