Summer Society: from 14 July to 15 August
At Straits International School in Bayan Lepas, learning is driven by a dynamic, student-centred approach that empowers students to face challenges with confidence and exceed their own expectations.
Guided by the Learning,First.™ philosophy, our students learn to think critically, communicate effectively and grow as independent learners. They develop not only strong academic foundations, but also the character and global perspective needed to succeed in an ever-changing world.
Through a holistic and engaging educational experience, our students are equipped to thrive - in school and far beyond.
Students develop essential skills that prepare them for lifelong success. From critical thinking and innovation to global awareness and digital responsibility, they learn to lead themselves, collaborate with others, and make positive impacts on their world.
Thinking deeply, questioning and problem-solving: "I lead my learning by solving problems, communicating confidently, and managing my time effectively."
Innovative
Students think outside the box and design original solutions, fostering an inventive spirit through hands-on learning that turns curiosity into breakthroughs.
Understanding the world and taking action: "I am curious about different cultures and take action for a better world."
Sustainable
Students learn to care for the planet by exploring eco-friendly habits, understanding environmental impact and making thoughtful choices that support a sustainable future.
Service
At our private school in Penang, students develop compassion and social awareness by engaging in meaningful service activities, learning to make a positive difference in their school, community and beyond.
Managing self, goals and growth: "I know how I learn best, set goals and stay motivated to improve."
Adventurous
Students embrace new experiences with curiosity, confidence and courage, taking risks in their learning, exploring new ideas and stepping out of their comfort zones with confidence.
Working together and building strong relationships: "I collaborate, communicate and build meaningful relationships with others."
Teamwork
Students collaborate with peers, share ideas and solve problems together, building strong communication and collaboration skills through group projects and daily interactions.
Respectful
Students treat others with kindness and empathy, celebrating differences and building inclusive relationships based on mutual respect, honesty and understanding.
Using technology safely and creatively: "I use digital tools responsibly to communicate, create and innovate."
Technology focused
Students use technology confidently and responsibly, applying digital tools to enhance learning, explore new ideas and prepare for a connected, tech-driven world.
Most schools talk about what they teach. We focus on how your child learns. Through the Learning.First™ approach, students reflect on their progress, explore new approaches and make decisions that drive their growth.
Curiosity fuels our learning
The best learning happens when students are actively engaged. We ignite curiosity through hands-on projects and inquiry-based learning, making learning exciting, memorable and full of exploration.
Confidence drives lifelong learning
Our students trust in their abilities, build confidence and lead their way forward. This mindset helps them believe they can learn and achieve anything, fostering a love for lifelong learning.
The power of 'Good Struggles'
We believe great learning happens just beyond the comfort zone. That’s why we create purposeful challenges, or 'good struggles', that help students stay motivated while they grow. Through these experiences, students build resilience, solve problems, and learn to keep going – even when it’s hard.
Teachers as co-pilots
Learning here is a partnership. Teachers work alongside students as guides, helping them navigate choices, embrace good struggles, inspire those 'aha' Amazing Learning moments of self-discovery and grow in confidence.
Our learning pillars enhance every student's experience - providing structure, opportunity and the support they need to grow. As part of International Schools Partnership, our students benefit from a global network committed to the highest standards of learning.

We believe every student should develop the skills to reflect, adapt and grow with confidence - skills that go beyond academics and prepare them for life.
Backed by Cambridge University through Camtree, International Schools Partnership’s Life Competencies framework ensures students gain the essential skills to make informed decisions, build strong relationships and thrive in their ever-changing world.
These skills are embedded throughout the learning experience, ensuring that every student actively develops the mindset and capabilities needed to succeed - now and in the future.
International learning is part of our schools’ DNA. Our students are encouraged to explore a range of world languages.
They strengthen their home or first language while learning at least one world language - ensuring they can communicate, collaborate and thrive in global environments.
This approach supports academic progress and prepares students for learning, careers and leadership in an interconnected world.
As part of International Schools Partnership, students take part in international learning opportunities that challenge thinking, spark curiosity and build global connections.Whether debating world issues at Model United Nations, competing in international chess tournaments, or collaborating on creative projects, every experience encourages students to ask big questions, reflect on their progress and make confident decisions.
These opportunities bring students together across countries and cultures, helping them think independently, communicate effectively and adapt to new challenges - skills they will use for life.
Future Pathways is a personalised programme that helps students explore opportunities, make informed decisions and confidently move towards university or careers.
With specialist guidance and industry connections, students gain valuable insights, refine their goals and access opportunities aligned with their ambitions.
Through exclusive scholarships, they also have unique opportunities to study with some of the world’s most renowned institutions, gaining skills for emerging careers and industries globally.
We measure the quality of learning through International Schools Partnership’s Learning Improvement Process - LIP. This framework helps teachers and leaders reflect on what works and adapt quickly to meet each learner’s needs, ensuring every student feels ready to embrace good struggles and succeed.
Informed by evidence gathered through this process, our learning spaces continually evolve to spark curiosity, foster resilience and prepare students with the skills they need to thrive - not just in school, but in life. Every improvement is guided by what drives real progress for learners.
Thrive in school and beyond. At Straits Penang, students learn to overcome challenges, exceed expectations and build the skills and global mindset needed for lifelong success.
