About Us

Quality Education

We provide a quality education system for the 21st century needs, with an emphasis on individual learning and critical thinking, to help its students to discover and develop their talents and to fulfill their potential.

We do this through a curriculum which we regard as exemplary, adaptable to our particular needs and well tested for international application. Our partner in the delivery of this curriculum is Peninsula Grammar from the state of Victoria in Australia, which has a long and distinguished record and expertise in international curriculum delivery and administration.

Character Development

We incorporate all aspects of human development:

Intellectual, social, physical, aesthetic and moral—with integrated learning by guiding students to be curious about the truth of all that the world has to offer.

Safe and Conducive Learning Environment

We are committed to the creation and maintenance of a peaceful and secure environment, to the non-violent resolution of problems and conflicts and the peaceful co-existence of children of diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds.

Internationalism

We consciously build a bridge for our students between Malaysia and the rest of the world so that they can be fully skilled as effective global citizens.

Australian Partner

Peninsula Grammar is delighted to expand to Malaysia, having earlier branched out to other parts of the world like China and India. This is a testament to our excellence in curriculum development and quality teaching which has allowed our students to learn, grow and flourish for over 55 years.

Peninsula Grammar is extremely proud of its students and their academic achievements. Our Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) results are consistently among the best. But this is not the only aspect of a child’s educational journey that we focus on — we also place great importance on extracurricular activities to maximise learning and holistic growth.

Our partnership with Peninsula International School Australia allows us to offer the opportunities that we have developed here in Australia to the world. It means we can share our knowledge and understanding of the ideal learning environment to families who value the same things we do, education and growth.

We are pleased to present to you Peninsula International School Australia and look forward to meeting our new families and students as they join us in this unique learning experience.

“Education has but one main purpose – to prepare students for the real world. To do that we need to get “real” in education. It is imperative that we provide ongoing, authentic learning opportunities to our students.” – Steve Revington

Brain research has long advocated a multi-sensory approach to teaching and learning, with the pursuit of meaningful tasks, a variety of skills and real world applications as optimal to an engaging and meaningful education.

With the rapid evolution of technology, a sole focus on the hard skills of knowledge acquisition will leave our children vulnerable to change. Our curriculum offering is enriched with opportunities for learners to also develop the soft skills such as communicating and listening well, possessing insights into other points of view, being supportive of their peers, critical thinking and problem solving, and being able to make connections across complex ideas. These fundamental human emotional and social skills are undoubtedly essential for our children to adapt to change more easily, and it remains our priority to nurture these in preparation for their future entry into in an ever evolving workplace.

Our students are provided differentiated, enquiry based teaching and learning experiences, with access to multimedia and collaborative work and design spaces. Intellectual skills are balanced with the emotional, physical and spiritual development creating a powerful combination that leads to a broad outlook and positive self-awareness.

This worthy education inspires children to life-long learning and a yearning to continue to grow and discover. Children are challenged to acquire self-leadership, take initiative and accept their responsibility towards creating a better tomorrow.

To the Early Years, Junior and Middle School Students

I have chosen these words that describe who we are as a school, because being sure of one’s identity is important as you take your steps forward in your educational journey.

Family: An endearment that we choose to describe our school community.

Friends: The encouragement you will receive from your peers who support you along your educational journey.

Why? An important skill you will learn: not only to ask lots of questions, but also what the right questions are to ask.

Smile: A word that reflects the kindness and acceptance for each other that our school has in abundance.

Perseverance and Self-belief: A prompt to persevere in the face of challenges and to continue to strive for what you believe in.

Courage: A reminder that true courage is in facing new experiences and seeing them as possibilities. Enter loudly and triumphantly into each phase of your studies.

Success: A resolution to set smart learning goals that lead to success.
