About Mount Safa International Primary School

Mount Safa International Primary School was founded in 2012 in Bandar Dato’ Onn, Johor Bahru, about 30 minutes from the Singapore border. The school’s defining feature is its triple-integrated curriculum, which combines the International Primary Programme (Cambridge-aligned), the Malaysian national curriculum (KSSR/KSSM), and an Islamic studies programme including Jilul Quran Tahfiz. This three-in-one approach is unusual in Malaysia, where most schools offer either Cambridge or national or Islamic, but rarely all three together.

The school serves over 300 students from 10+ nationalities and delivers instruction in three languages: English, Arabic (Fusha), and Bahasa Melayu. Mount Safa is a Google for Education partner, and the campus includes a STEAM Robotics laboratory alongside standard classroom facilities.

The Tahfiz programme runs alongside academic subjects within the school timetable, so families do not need to arrange separate religious schooling.

Trilingual instruction in English, Arabic, and Bahasa Melayu prepares students for academic pathways in both English-medium and Arabic-medium institutions.
