About Orbix International School Muar

Orbix International School Muar opened in 2019 in Bakri, a town within the Muar district of Johor. The Muar campus is the second in the Orbix group, which began with the Batu Pahat campus in 2016 and later expanded to Klang, Selangor in 2021. Across all three sites, the group enrols 350 to 400 students, keeping each campus deliberately small.

For families in central Johor, Orbix Muar is one of very few international school options outside Johor Bahru and Iskandar Puteri. The school draws students from Muar, Batu Pahat, Tangkak, and the northern Johor corridor. Boarding availability extends the catchment further, allowing students from rural and semi-urban areas to access the school without daily commuting.

Curriculum at Orbix International School Muar

Orbix combines elements from British, Singapore, and Cambridge frameworks, structured to lead students toward Cambridge IGCSE examinations.

Years 1 to 6 (Primary): The primary programme blends the Cambridge Primary framework with Singapore Mathematics, building strong numeracy alongside English literacy and sciences. Mandarin is taught from primary level, with HSK Chinese examination preparation available for students who want external certification of their Chinese language ability.

Years 7 to 9 (Lower Secondary): Students transition into the Cambridge Lower Secondary programme, which covers English, mathematics, science, and additional subjects. This stage sets the groundwork for IGCSE subject selection.

Years 10 to 11 (IGCSE): Students sit Cambridge IGCSE examinations, choosing from the sciences, humanities, and languages offered at the campus.
