About this school
Fairview International School Penang opened in late 2006 and is one of five Malaysian campuses of Fairview International School, a group founded in Kuala Lumpur in 1978 that also has a campus in Scotland. Fairview describes itself as Malaysia's largest network of IB schools, with more than 2,000 students from over 65 nations across its campuses.
The Penang campus is authorised to teach both the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) and Middle Years Programme (MYP) for students aged 3 to 16, drawing on the UK National Curriculum. Students who continue can join the group's IB Diploma Programme, for which scholarships are offered each August intake. Teaching emphasises concept-based inquiry and hands-on learning outside the classroom.
The school sits among greenery beside a lake in the suburb of Bukit Jambul. It is a WWF-certified Eco-School, has an active parent community, and its students represent more than 20 nationalities.
