Seri Botani International School

The school is committed to a holistic, character-based education that balances academic rigor with creativity, innovation, and personal growth. It emphasizes the development of ethics, values, and global citizenship, with teachers serving as models of good character. The educational approach is designed to educate the whole child—mentally, socially, and physically—in a disciplined and supportive environment.

The school follows the Cambridge curriculum from Early Years (ages 3-5) through to IGCSE (Upper Secondary, ages 14-16). The academic pathway includes Primary Years (ages 5-11) and Lower Secondary Years (ages 11-14), focusing on core subjects such as English, mathematics, and science. The programme integrates structured guidance with learner-led exploration to ensure mastery of core concepts and the development of critical thinking skills.

Students in Year 6 complete the Cambridge Primary Checkpoint, an internationally benchmarked assessment covering English, mathematics, science, and global perspectives. The school’s curriculum prepares students for IGCSE examinations, with a focus on developing resilient, compassionate, and confident individuals. The ultimate goal is to prepare students for global university entry and lifelong success.

The school prioritizes student wellbeing and pastoral care, aiming to ensure every child feels safe, supported, and valued. It employs a personalized approach to learning, with teachers providing guidance and support to help students discover their strengths and build independence. The school maintains a small student-to-teacher ratio to foster a supportive and interactive learning environment.

The school accepts students throughout the year, with the academic year beginning in September. The application process requires the submission of a completed form, followed by a placement test and an interview with the Principal. Successful applicants receive a letter of offer and must pay a non-refundable registration fee to secure their place. International students must also follow specific documentation and immigration procedures to obtain a student pass.

The school operates on an academic year that begins in September and is divided into three terms. The school is open Monday through Friday, from 08:00 to 17:00, excluding public holidays. A typical school day runs from 08:00 until 15:15, with an earlier dismissal time of 13:00 on Fridays.

The purpose-built campus features a variety of modern facilities, including science labs, arts studios, music rooms, and a library. Sports amenities include a swimming pool, sports field, and courts for badminton, basketball, futsal, and tennis. Additionally, the school provides a multipurpose hall, a dance and drama studio, a culinary room, a sewing room, and on-campus boarding facilities for students from Year 7 onwards.

The school offers a range of co-curricular activities (CCA) to enrich the student experience, including sports, performing arts, and debating. Students also participate in service learning, leadership opportunities, and annual field trips designed to provide immersive, multi-sensory learning outside the classroom. CCA sessions are scheduled on Monday and Wednesday afternoons.
