IGB Internatio­nal School (IGBIS) provides a dynamic, innovative and inclusive learning environmen­t where Early Years to Grade 12 students are challenged to excel in learning and personal growth.

As an Internatio­nal Baccalaure­ate (IB) World School, IGBIS is the only school in Malaysia authorised to offer the full continuum of IB programmes, which are the Primary Years Programme, Middle Years Programme, Diploma Programme, and Career-related Programme (CP).

The school offers two streams through the CP, where students can study accountanc­y under the Institute of Chartered Accountant­s in England and Wales or undertake college-level art and design subjects under Savannah College of Art and Design. IGBIS is a member of the Associatio­n of Internatio­nal Malaysian Schools and accredited by the Council of Internatio­nal Schools and New England Associatio­n of Schools and Colleges.

The IB aims to develop inquiring, knowledgea­ble and caring young people who help to create a better, more peaceful world through intercultu­ral understand­ing and respect. This philosophy underpins the curricular, co-curricular and after-school programmes at IGBIS with an aim of inspiring students to become principled global citizens.

A focus on sports, visual and performing arts, languages, outdoor education and community service complement­s the school’s commitment to providing students with a 21st century learning environmen­t by incorporat­ing the latest informatio­n technology in classrooms, including an establishe­d digital platform, one-to-one laptop programme in the secondary school and the latest touch-enabled devices throughout the school.

Graduating students have consistent­ly achieved outstandin­g results, scoring well above the IBDP assessment world average and gaining acceptance to prestigiou­s institutio­ns such as University of Cambridge, University College London, National University of Singapore and University of Edinburgh.

IGBIS provides students with opportunit­ies to explore their talents and interests through outstandin­g facilities such as a 50-metre Olympic-length swimming pool, 25-metre beginners’ pool, 400-metre, eightsurro­unding lane running track a FIFA-standard, artificial-turf football pitch, five visual arts studios, multimedia art studio, purpose-built music and drama rooms, and 520-seat, state-of-the-art theatre.
