Sayfol International School

About Sayfol International School

Sayfol International School has been at 261 Jalan Ampang in central Kuala Lumpur since 1985, giving it over 40 years of continuous operation. The school serves more than 2,000 students from over 60 countries, creating one of the most internationally diverse student bodies in Malaysia. The school’s philosophy, branded as “The SAYFOL Family,” centres on building a cohesive community across its wide range of nationalities.

Sayfol follows the English National Curriculum from Early Years through A-Levels, using Pearson Edexcel assessments at primary and lower secondary levels before students sit Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level examinations. The school is recognised among the highest IGCSE achievers worldwide through the Pearson Edexcel programme.

Curriculum at Sayfol International School

The curriculum at Sayfol progresses through five stages. Early Years Foundation Stage covers ages 2.5 to 5. The Primary division (Years 1 to 6) uses Pearson Edexcel testing in Mathematics and English at Year 6. Lower Secondary (Years 7 to 9) continues with Pearson assessments before students enter the Cambridge IGCSE programme at Year 10. A-Levels (Years 12 to 13) complete the pre-university pathway.

This dual Pearson-Cambridge structure means students receive regular standardised assessments throughout their school career, not just at the IGCSE stage. The approach builds examination readiness progressively rather than concentrating all external testing into the final two years.

Pastoral care is integrated across all year groups, and the school runs co-curricular programmes alongside academics. The central Jalan Ampang location means students come from across KL, KLCC, Ampang, and surrounding neighbourhoods.
