Aspiration International Primary School

About Aspiration International Primary School

Aspiration International Primary School is an IB World School in Petaling Jaya offering the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) for children aged 3 to 11. The campus at Plaza Damansara Utama sits in one of PJ’s busiest commercial and residential areas, near Damansara Uptown and the Damansara-Puchong Expressway (LDP).

The school is part of the Aspiration International School group, which also operates Aspiration International Secondary School in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur. Together, the two campuses cover the full IB continuum at primary level (PYP) and the MYP at secondary, alongside Cambridge IGCSE for examination qualifications.

Curriculum at Aspiration International Primary School

The IB Primary Years Programme at Aspiration is an inquiry-based framework organised around six transdisciplinary themes: Who We Are, Where We Are in Place and Time, How We Express Ourselves, How the World Works, How We Organise Ourselves, and Sharing the Planet. Within this framework, students develop skills in language, mathematics, science, social studies, arts, and personal and social education.

The PYP is distinct from Cambridge or the English National Curriculum in its emphasis on student-led inquiry and connecting learning across subject boundaries. Students who complete the PYP at Aspiration Primary can transition to the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP) at the secondary campus, or move into the Cambridge IGCSE track if they prefer a more examination-focused pathway.

Fees at Aspiration International Primary School

Annual tuition at Aspiration Primary ranges from RM 14,400 to RM 27,600 depending on year group. First-year costs total approximately RM 21,700 when one-time registration and enrolment fees are included. The school fees guide explains common ancillary costs beyond tuition.

The sibling discounts make Aspiration more affordable for families enrolling multiple children. At upper primary level, annual fees remain below RM 30,000, which positions the school in the mid-range for IB World Schools in the Klang Valley.

Admissions at Aspiration International Primary School

Aspiration Primary accepts students from age 3 (Early Years) through age 11 (Year 6). The admissions process typically involves an assessment to determine readiness for the IB PYP environment. Both Malaysian and international students are welcome.

Families seeking a continuous IB pathway can plan for the transition from PYP at the Petaling Jaya campus to MYP at the Taman Tun Dr Ismail secondary campus. Those who prefer the Cambridge route at secondary level can also transition to IGCSE within the Aspiration group.
