Westlake International School: Preparing Students for Success

Established in 2013, Westlake International School has already established a reputation for excellence by delivering a world-class educational experience for its students.

The school is located in the university town of Kampar, Perak – a green and serene environment that is only a few hours away from Kuala Lumpur. Surrounded by lakes and mountains, Westlake’s campus is built on 20 acres of land and offers on-campus boarding, family units, sports facilities including a swimming pool and tennis courts as well as state-of-the-art classroom and laboratory learning spaces.

CREATING POWERFUL LEARNERS

Westlake offers the internationally recognized British Cambridge curriculum for Early Years through A- levels, preparing students for the IGCSE and A-Levels examinations, and has the distinction of being one of the few schools in Malaysia that prepares students for the IGCSE practical science paper.

Westlake provides an environment that promotes creative thinking and the acquisition of skills essential for success in all areas of life. The school’s broad-based subject offering and extra-curricular program are designed to ensure the development well-rounded individuals.

The first-class team of teachers at Westlake has been carefully selected based on their competencies, commitment and care towards the students. In line with the school’s motto the “Pursuit of Excellence”, teachers engage in continuous professional development so that they are able to establish an academically vigorous learning environment and to model life-long learning for students.

A LEARNING COMMUNITY

Tan Sri Hew, the founder of the Westlake International School, firmly believes that quality international education should be made affordable and accessible to everyone, particularly those in the surrounding community. Westlake International School has grown steadily since its inception with the biggest factor in student number growth being word-of-mouth recommendations from parents of existing students. This is no doubt a direct result of the “school as a community” feeling among the students, parents, teachers and staff.

Westlake’s boarding facilities provide a secure and comfortable “home away from home”, staffed by full-time, dedicated house parents who provide care, advice and guidance to reinforce healthy living habits. Living in a close community with peers, boarders learn to be independent and collaborative, to act as team players as well as team leaders.

ENSURING STUDENT SUCCESS

At Westlake, students are nurtured to develop as independent learners who are equipped with the academic abilities and character attributes to succeed in the world.

Here are some quotes from Westlake students, testifying to the value of their experiences at the school:
