IGB International School (IGBIS) is a premier Early Years to Grade 12 international School. Situated at Sierramas and Valencia, in the north-west of Kuala Lumpur, IGBIS is an IB World School authorized for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program for Grades 11 and 12. IGBIS is a candidate school* for the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program and the Middle Years Program.
In an inclusive learning community, students at IGBIS receive a challenging, caring and holistic education. The school’s team of internationally experienced IB educators are trained to deliver an integrated, 21st century curriculum, empowering IGBIS students to be lifelong learners who aim to make a positive contribution to our global society.
IGBIS is owned and operated by Detik Harapan Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of IGB Corporation Berhad. IGB Corporation Berhad is a renowned and highly respected leader in corporate initiatives and property development in Malaysia and beyond.
In order to prepare students for living in this fast-changing, increasingly complex and more interdependent global community, and to give real substance to the critical goal of learning how to learn and becoming life-long learners, IGBIS believes that best practice in education achieves the best results. Therefore, the highly regarded International Baccalaureate (IB) Program has been chosen for this new school.
The IB programs help develop the intellectual, personal, emotional and social skills of students, enabling them to live, learn and work in a rapidly globalizing world. As a university preparation, the IB programs are highly valued by leading universities world-wide.
IGBIS firmly believes one of the most important factors that determines the quality of education for all children is the teacher. With that in mind, the IGBIS leadership team has conducted an international search to hire highly qualified, internationally experienced teachers who have been IB trained.
IGBIS offers various programs focusing on sports, the visual and performing arts, languages, outdoor education and service learning.
The school has an established digital platform, including the latest laptop and touch-enabled devices, and comprehensively incorporates information technology to enhance the quality of teaching and learning.
To support the commitment of IGBIS in delivering an exceptional world-class education, the facilities are of an excellent standard. Along with well-conceived classrooms and laboratories, the facilities include art, dance and drama studios, music practice rooms and a 540-seat theater. The school’s impressive sports facilities include an indoor gymnasium housing three full-size basketball courts, a fitness and weight training centre, an artificial turf football field surrounded by a 400-meter, 8-lane athletics track, two swimming pools (50-meter Olympic-size and a 25-meter learn-to-swim) and tennis courts. There is also a split-level covered parking lot with spaces for 500 vehicles so there will be no need for on-the-street parking. Student drop-off and pick-up will be in a secure and safe environment.
