International School KL and education tips: Educational research has shown that working in small groups fosters closer relationships between students and teachers, and also that a smaller student-to-teacher ratio leads to greater success in college. But numbers can be misleading. In their published student-teacher ratios, some schools count every adult and coach as a teacher. If you want to forecast the amount of attention your child will get from classroom teachers, multiply the number of sections a teacher has in a day by the average class size. That will give you a sense of how much individualized contact a teacher is likely to have with each child.

Once the information is gathered and assessed, the bottom line is to choose the school that you and your child feel best about him attending. In some cases, this follows directly to the data; in other cases, you might simply get a good feeling about the staff or other features. The school you choose will make a difference in your child’s academic future, so take the time to research your options and then choose the school that feels the best to both of you.

What parents say about St. John International School ? Having spent the entirety of my secondary AND pre-university education in SJIS, I can definitely attest to the quality of education here. I could not be more grateful to have been guided by the supportive, experienced and dedicated teachers here, whose lessons go well and beyond the classroom. Of course, like any other school, academics are the forefront. However, it has always been instilled in us from day one that co-curriculars are just as important as our studies. With a wide selection of clubs and sports to choose from, students are given plenty of opportunities to explore activities. It is during these co-curriculars where we really get the chance to not only develop our skills in the specific activitity, but it also nurtures soft skills like teamworking and leadership. Even after graduating, I still feel a strong sense of pride to be part of the SJIS community. That’s why I love our Alumni network – they’re regularly organising activities for all of us to get back and reconnect with not only our former schoolmates, but our teachers as well.

SJIS presents a new milieu for students from different cultures and backgrounds to be nurtured in education, sports and extra-curricular activities excellence. We realise that a holistic education is also one that promotes values of respect for all and a sense of responsibility. Good discipline and strong student-faculty relationship are emphasised to create a mutual and respectful learning environment within the school. See a few extra details on www.sjis.edu.my.
