Marifah International School

About Marifah International School

Marifah International School opened in 2016 in Seri Kembangan, Selangor, as a Cambridge school built around Arabic and Islamic education. Where most Cambridge schools in the Klang Valley offer Islamic studies as an optional or supplementary subject, Marifah places it at the centre of the programme. Arabic is a medium of instruction alongside English, and Quran memorisation (Tahfiz) is woven into the timetable from KG1 through Grade 12.

The school occupies space at South City Plaza on Persiaran Serdang Perdana, in the southern Klang Valley corridor. It draws families from Seri Kembangan, Serdang, Putrajaya, Cyberjaya, and the surrounding townships who want Cambridge qualifications without separating academic and religious education.

Curriculum at Marifah International School

Marifah International School follows the Cambridge International curriculum from KG1 through Grade 12, with students progressing through Cambridge Primary, Cambridge Lower Secondary, IGCSE, and A-Levels. The programme layers three additional streams on top of the Cambridge framework:

• Arabic Language: Taught as a core subject from Kindergarten through Grade 12, not just as a foreign language elective.
• Islamic Studies: Integrated across year groups, covering Fiqh, Aqidah, Sirah, and Hadith.
• Quran Studies: Structured Tahfiz and Tajweed programme running alongside academic subjects.

Instruction alternates between English (for Cambridge academic subjects) and Arabic (for Islamic and language components). This dual-medium approach means students graduate with Cambridge qualifications and substantive Arabic proficiency.

Fees at Marifah International School
