'Be All You Are' at ISKL
For 55 years, The International School of Kuala Lumpur (ISKL) has been nurturing students from around the world to develop their individual skills and talents, passions and competencies. This is an essential component of ISKL’s values-based education which is designed around ensuring students are future-ready, socially responsible global citizens who not only understand that they can make a difference in the world but also how to make that difference.
Driven by its mission to support students in being self-directed and successful in managing the complexities of a rapidly evolving world, ISKL focuses on ‘best-fit’ and nurturing the individual as opposed to a ‘one size fits all’ education. This educational approach is embodied by the school’s call to action to Be All You Are which extends to faculty, staff and parents as well as the students. Ask any of ISKL’s dynamic and tight-knit community what Be All You Are means to them and they are each likely to give you a different answer.
To recent graduate Alex, Class of 2020 it means “Your ideas are not limited. The relationships and partnerships between students and teachers, and within the community and clubs - allow us all to be who we are. It is a motivation which can be taken into our future lives, where our ideas can become a reality."
Whilst to Matthew Durham, Middle School science teacher and co-organizer of the inaugural Malaysian National Robotics Championship which was held at ISKL in late 2019, Be All You Are means, “To live each day to the fullest and to be as good as I can be that day, and to try and be better the next”.
Whereas viola playing Aidan, Class of 2025 interprets the call to action as not to "Be afraid to show your true colours because everyone is unique in their way - and with those colours, you can follow your dreams.” The diversity of these answers reflects ISKL’s commitment to providing a diverse range of opportunities designed to enable everyone to fulfil their potential, explore their individual passions in a culture characterised by care and empathy.
