Students at Sunway International Schools benefit from a holistic British-style education designed to nurture academic excellence, leadership and global perspectives.
Long recognised as one of Malaysia’s premier private international schools, Sunway International Schools (SIS) has consistently raised the bar for education through its holistic approach to nurturing creative, collaborative, and socially responsible global citizens.
This commitment to excellence has now reached a new milestone through a landmark partnership with Magdalen College School, one of the United Kingdom’s most prestigious independent day schools.
Founded in 1480 by William Waynflete, Bishop of Winchester and Lord Chancellor of England, Magdalen College School boasts a distinguished heritage spanning over five centuries. Consistently ranked among the top-performing independent schools in the United Kingdom, the school is renowned for delivering exceptional academic outcomes while nurturing character, leadership, and intellectual curiosity.
For the first time in Asia, this premier British school has partnered with Sunway International Schools to deliver Cambridge International Programmes aligned with the highest British standards. The collaboration represents a powerful union of heritage and innovation, bringing the finest traditions of British education to Malaysia.
A UNIQUE PARTNERSHIP IN KUALA LUMPUR
Sunway International Schools’ partnership with Magdalen College School brings centuries of British academic excellence to students in Malaysia.
The partnership between SIS and Magdalen College School is currently offered at Sunway International School Sunway City Kuala Lumpur (SISKL), providing students aged seven to 18 with access to an exceptional British-style education through the Sunway Cambridge International Programme.
Established in 2008, SISKL has grown from a secondary school into a full K–12 institution, offering students a seamless educational journey from early years to pre-university. The school moved into its new state-of-the-art campus in Sunway City Kuala Lumpur in January 2023, further strengthening its ability to deliver world-class international education.
Through the SIS × Magdalen College School collaboration, students benefit from a curriculum that combines rigorous academics with holistic development. The programme not only prepares students for academic excellence but also cultivates critical thinking, creativity, leadership, and strong interpersonal skills — qualities essential for success in a globalised world.
DUAL CREDENTIALS, GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES
With campuses in Sunway City Kuala Lumpur and Sunway City Iskandar Puteri, Sunway International Schools provides internationally recognised programmes in a dynamic learning environment.
A key highlight of this partnership is the opportunity for graduating students to receive two school-leaving certificates from Sunway International Schools and Magdalen College School Oxford — a powerful testament to both their academic excellence and global readiness.
Rooted in Magdalen College School’s distinguished heritage and educational philosophy, the curriculum places strong emphasis on personalised learning. Students are encouraged to explore their individual strengths, develop confidence, and actively engage in their educational journey.
With its proven track record of preparing students for top universities — including Oxbridge and the Ivy League — the collaboration positions Sunway International Schools as a gateway to some of the world’s most prestigious higher education institutions.
THE FINEST BRITISH SCHOOL EXPERIENCE IN MALAYSIA
By combining the established reputation of Sunway International Schools with the exceptional academic tradition of Magdalen College School, families gain access to an unparalleled British educational experience on Malaysian soil.
For both Malaysian and expatriate families seeking a world-class education for their children, this unique alliance offers the best of both worlds — the prestige of a five-century legacy and a modern, forward-thinking learning environment.
In choosing Sunway International Schools, parents are investing not only in internationally respected qualifications but also in a holistic educational foundation that equips their children for global opportunities and lifelong success.
With expert teachers, world-class curricula, and the prestige of a five-century legacy, SIS truly offers the finest British school experience on Malaysian shores.
