About SRI Ara International School

SRI Ara International School operates from Jalan Straits View in Johor Bahru, offering families a choice between two parallel education streams within one campus. The International stream follows the British-based curriculum leading to Cambridge IGCSE, while the National stream follows the Malaysian KSSM curriculum leading to SPM. Both streams use English as the primary medium of instruction.

The dual-stream model allows families to select the qualification pathway that suits their plans while keeping siblings in the same school regardless of stream choice. The Straits View campus is near the JB city centre, overlooking the Straits of Johor and minutes from the Singapore border.

Curriculum at SRI Ara International School

The International stream follows an adapted English National Curriculum. Primary and Lower Secondary students (Years 1-9) build foundational knowledge across core and elective subjects. Upper Secondary students (Years 10-11) prepare for the Cambridge IGCSE examinations.

The National stream follows the KSSM framework endorsed by MOE Malaysia, leading to the SPM examination at Form 5. English language proficiency is emphasised across both streams, giving national stream students stronger English preparation than typical government schools.

The school operates Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, covering regular instruction and after-school activities.
