About Sekolah Menengah Sri Cempaka Cheras

SM Sri Cempaka Cheras is the private secondary arm of the Cempaka Schools group, an education provider founded in 1983 that now enrols roughly 1,600 students across its various campuses. The Cheras Permata campus sits in Taman Cheras Permata II, serving secondary students through what may be the widest curriculum offering of any single school in the greater Cheras area: five distinct academic tracks under one roof.

The school’s headline result is an IB Diploma average of 41 out of 45. For context, the global IB average hovers around 30. That 11-point gap is not a statistical artefact of selective intake alone; it reflects the intensive preparation model that Cempaka has refined over four decades. The group has also accumulated 9 World Trophies across academic competitions, reinforcing the brand’s position as a high-performance education provider.

Curriculum at Sekolah Menengah Sri Cempaka Cheras

SM Sri Cempaka delivers five curriculum tracks. The national KSSM stream prepares students for the SPM examination, the standard Malaysian secondary qualification. The Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level tracks provide internationally recognised credentials for university entry worldwide. The IB Diploma offers the broadest pre-university qualification, assessed through internal coursework, extended essays and external examinations. The Finnish curriculum stream, a newer addition, follows the Finnish national education model known for student wellbeing and project-based inquiry.

Class sizes are capped at 24 across all streams. This cap means that even the national SPM track benefits from smaller groups than the typical government school class of 35 to 40 students. The multi-stream model also allows lateral movement: a student who starts in the national stream can transition to Cambridge or IB if their academic trajectory supports it.
