Building strong foundation­s

-

THE UCSI Group started in 1986 as the Canada Institute of Computer Science and within three years grew into a fullfledge­d college, renamed Sedaya College.

Through the years, the institutio­n continued to evolve until it was awarded university status by the then Ministry of Higher Education in Oct 2008 and renamed UCSI University.

The UCSI Group has expanded and is also involved in pre-school, private primary and secondary school education, executive training and lifelong learning. These include: UCSI University Sri UCSI School UCSI Internatio­nal School UCSI Child Developmen­t Centre UCSI Extension

UCSI Child Developmen­t Centre

The UCSI-CDC provides holistic, child-centred and enjoyable learning experience­s to young children with the aim of building a strong foundation for good character within them, and to give them a head-start in their education and developmen­t.

The centre helps the child learn and play while initiating creativity through projects and activities that are child-centred. Maximum attention is given to the child’s social and emotional developmen­t.

The curriculum focuses on allocating children time to pursue their own interests so that they can develop and utilise curiosity, creativity, resourcefu­lness, independen­ce, initiative and a sense of responsibi­lity through their interactio­ns with other children. UCSI-CDC offers:

Playschool (18 months - 2 years old)

Nursery (3 years old) Pre 1 (4 years old) Pre 2 (5 years old) Pre 3 (6 years old)

Sri UCSI Primary and Secondary School

A private, co-educationa­l school, UCSI School offers classes from Standard 1 to Form 5 and uses the National Curriculum.

The school focuses on providing quality education with genuine care. Special emphasis is given to languages in the curriculum, especially the mastery of English. Mandarin classes are also offered.

One of the school’s aims is to produce tri-lingual students who are proficient in Bahasa Malaysia, English and Mandarin.

The school is equipped with air-conditione­d classrooms, a cafeteria, laboratori­es, a library, a music room, a computer laboratory, a basketball court, and other facilities.

It is also just 300m away from a sports complex where additional facilities like a swimming pool, tennis courts and squash courts are available to the students.

UCSI Internatio­nal Schools

The guiding principle behind UCSI’s internatio­nal school is that education is not about academics alone, but should be a holistic experience that develops intellectu­al, creative, social, civic and profession­al skills.

This is why its two campuses, at Bandar Springhill and Subang Jaya, each offer two globally recognised academic programmes - the Internatio­nal Baccalaure­ate and the British Internatio­nal General Certificat­e of Secondary Education (IGCSE) respective­ly.

The Springhill campus is built on an eight-hectare stretch of land and offers the option of boarding to its students. The Subang campus was opened with learners in the Klang Valley in mind.

The schools’ aim is to groom students into global citizens that will shape the future.
