About Sekolah Menengah Setia Budi

Sekolah Menengah Setia Budi in Gombak is operated by IIUM Holdings, the commercial subsidiary of the International Islamic University Malaysia. This institutional link gives SM Setia Budi a grounding in Islamic scholarship that goes beyond what most private schools can offer. The school sits on Jalan Sungai Pusu, close to the IIUM main campus in Gombak, near the northern edge of Kuala Lumpur.

SM Setia Budi positions itself as an affordable alternative to both secular private schools and higher-priced Islamic international schools. Its fee structure is designed to be accessible to middle-income families who want their children to receive an education that integrates Islamic values throughout the curriculum.

Curriculum at Sekolah Menengah Setia Budi

SM Setia Budi follows an Islamic Integrated Curriculum that combines the national KSSM framework with Islamic education components. Students study all the standard national secondary subjects (Bahasa Melayu, English, Mathematics, Science, History) alongside Islamic studies, Arabic language, and Quran recitation.

This integrated approach means Islamic education is not confined to a standalone period but woven into the school’s daily programme. Students sit for the same national assessments as their peers in government schools, while also gaining deeper Islamic knowledge.
