A knowledgeable draw
ST John’s International School (SJIS) aspires to craft students who will achieve scholastic distinction.
A renowned institution, SJIS has been churning out graduates in various fields since its inception in 2010. Its academic resource for success is evident in the University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE).
SJIS prepares students for the General Certificate of Education (GCE) Advanced Level and to become apt world achievers.
The interpretation of excellence in academic distinction at SJIS has been grounded on the confluence between La Salle Brothers Malaysia and SJIS. The adoption of the La Sallian organisation’s steadfast tradition in education observed in 82 nations worldwide has created a penchant for academic merit.
SJIS is part of over a century of deep-rooted scholastic tradition that began with its attachment to the St John’s Institution building in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.
Cambridge International Pre-University GCE A-Levels Programme
A revised GCE A-Level structure now offers the Advanced Subsidiary (AS) and Advanced Level (A2) examinations where candidates may prepare for the examinations in two separate phases, eliminating the added anxiety of performing in one final examination. SJIS superbly captures the excitement learning can generate in preference with the ease of securing admissions into leading universities both overseas and locally.
SJIS always goes the extra mile and does something more – funding over 30 scholarship students since 2012 who have displayed qualities that should be emulated within diverse capabilities. With the lowest school fees for A-Levels at just RM7,500 for minimum three subjects, SJIS closely ingrains the ethos of “Smart Choice, Bright Future”.
SJIS also offers a 50% bursary with proof that any of the student’s family members was a La Salle or Convent Bukit Nanas alumni.
Cambridge International Lower Secondary (CLS)
A complete secondary experience, CLS qualification focuses on varied exposures among well-balanced responses to students’ needs from age 12.
It provides a seamless progression from primary school to allow careful monitoring of progress to excel in lower secondary.

“The CIE syndicate has an up-todate and ever evolving curriculum and syllabi, which attests to CIE being internationally recognised”. Dedicated teaching staff
With passion, dedication and averaging over a decade’s experience, SJIS faculty members are a reminder that though academia is usually thought of as insular, the lecturers here make learning a thing of pure zeal. SJIS encapsulates an establishment that possesses a simple distillation of knowledge, understanding, reasoning abilities and skills, which stresses on academic delivery, culminating in soaring result percentages year after year that saw SJIS’ success of garnering 57% A* and A in the 2017 IGCSE examinations.
