About Sekolah Sri Bestari
Sekolah Sri Bestari sits on a 15-acre campus in Bandar Sri Damansara, one of the established residential townships in the Petaling Jaya-Kepong corridor of Selangor. The school runs dual streams: a KSSR national curriculum track and a British/Cambridge IGCSE international track. It shares the campus with Sekolah Sri Bestari Menengah, forming a continuous primary-to-secondary pathway.
What distinguishes Sri Bestari is its early introduction of STEM education. The school begins structured STEM instruction from Year 1, three years ahead of the standard Malaysian timeline. This early start is supported by dedicated laboratories and learning spaces built into the campus infrastructure. Sri Bestari has received recognition from both UNESCO and WWF for its environmental and sustainability education programmes.
Curriculum at Sekolah Sri Bestari
The national stream follows KSSR with Bahasa Melayu as the medium of instruction, covering the full range of MOE-mandated subjects from Year 1 to Year 6. The international stream follows the British curriculum leading to Cambridge IGCSE at the secondary level, delivered in English.
Both streams integrate the school’s STEM programme from the first year of primary education. Students access 10 science and computer laboratories for practical work, and project-based STEM activities are part of the weekly timetable rather than an enrichment add-on. The school also offers 8 dedicated music and arts studios, supporting creative development alongside the STEM emphasis.
The UNESCO and WWF recognition connects to a sustainability curriculum thread that runs through both streams. Environmental education, conservation awareness, and real-world sustainability projects are woven into Science and Geography subjects across all year groups.
Fees at Sekolah Sri Bestari
International stream fees at Sri Bestari range from RM 16,805 to RM 37,225 per year. The national stream has a separate fee structure. The school fees guide explains common ancillary costs beyond base tuition.

Among private primary schools in Selangor offering dual streams, Sri Bestari’s international fees sit in the mid-range. The 15-acre campus with its full suite of facilities contributes to the fee level, as schools with purpose-built labs, pools, and auditoriums carry higher operating costs than those in converted commercial buildings.
Admissions at Sekolah Sri Bestari
Sri Bestari admits students from Year 1 for both streams. The school follows the January intake for the national stream and accepts applications throughout the year for the international stream, subject to availability. The admissions process includes a student assessment and parent interview.
Given the dual-stream model, families should clarify their preferred track at the application stage. Students in the national stream follow MOE assessment schedules, while international stream students follow Cambridge checkpoints and progression.
