Aspiration International Secondary School

Aspiration International School is guided by the mission to future-proof children in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world. It emphasizes a holistic education that balances academic excellence with character development, integrity, and resilience. The school promotes the "Language of Aspiration," a set of values including affection, strength, proactivity, integrity, respect, affinity, tolerance, imagination, excellence, and nurturing.

The school offers an internationally recognised curriculum that integrates UK-based standards with the inquiry-driven International Baccalaureate (IB) framework. This includes the Primary Years Programme (PYP) for ages 3–12, the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for ages 11–16, and the Diploma Programme (DP) for ages 16–19. The curriculum emphasizes transdisciplinary learning, critical thinking, and real-world applications, preparing students for higher education and global careers.

The school provides a Learning Support Programme that includes academic support classes, a mentor-mentee programme, and English as an Additional Language (EAL) classes. These initiatives are designed to assist students who are struggling academically and ensure they receive the necessary guidance for their development.

The admissions process begins with a pre-application form, followed by a consultation with an academic advisor. All applicants must complete the Cognitive Abilities Test (CAT4) to evaluate readiness and inform tailored support. Successful applicants receive a fee quotation and offer letter, with full payment required to secure a place. The school offers year-round enrolment and provides sibling discounts of 10% for the second child and 15% for the third child and beyond.

The school follows the UK academic calendar, which runs from August/September to July/August. The academic year is divided into three terms, though the school offers year-round enrolment.

The school operates across multiple locations, including campuses in Damansara Utama and Taman Tun Dr. Ismail. Facilities include classrooms equipped with the "Language of Aspiration" and CCTV surveillance for security. While there is no dedicated computer lab, students are required to provide their own laptops for use during lessons. The school also provides after-school daycare services for children aged 6–12 at Aspiration Care.

Participation in co-curricular activities (CCAs) is strongly encouraged to help students discover new interests and develop soft skills. Tuition fees include two CCAs, with the option to join additional activities for an extra fee. Offerings include sports, games, and special skills, and the school may transport students to external facilities for physical activities if necessary.
