About Brainy Bunch International Islamic Montessori School

Brainy Bunch International Islamic Montessori School in Gombak, Selangor is part of the Brainy Bunch group, known primarily for Islamic early childhood education. The Gombak branch goes beyond early years by offering a pathway from Montessori-based primary education through to Cambridge IGCSE at secondary level. The school holds NAMC (North American Montessori Center) accreditation for its Montessori programme and is a registered Cambridge examination centre.

What distinguishes Brainy Bunch from other Islamic international schools is its quadrilingual model. Students receive instruction in English, Arabic, Bahasa Malaysia, and Mandarin from early years onward. Most Islamic international schools in Malaysia offer English, Arabic, and Malay; the addition of Mandarin as a fourth structured language is uncommon in this segment.

Curriculum at Brainy Bunch International Islamic Montessori School

The curriculum at Brainy Bunch Gombak operates in two phases:

Montessori phase (Early Years to Primary): NAMC-accredited Montessori methodology with mixed-age classrooms and hands-on, self-directed learning. The Montessori framework covers practical life skills, sensorial development, language, mathematics, and cultural studies. Islamic education, including Quran recitation and Arabic, is woven into the Montessori environment.

Cambridge phase (Secondary): Students transition to the Cambridge IGCSE curriculum, sitting for examinations at the school’s own Cambridge exam centre. The quadrilingual language programme continues at this stage.

Beyond core academics, Brainy Bunch runs two signature programmes. The Money Tree programme teaches financial literacy through structured activities on saving, budgeting, and earning. A self-defence programme runs as a regular co-curricular activity.
