Curriculum
A-Levels is a prestigious subject-based qualification for students aged 16 and above. This two-year course starts with AS Levels and progressing to A2 Levels, each step building a deeper understanding of chosen A-Levels subjects. This structure supports entrance to higher education institutions worldwide, offering a robust pathway to future academic and career achievements.
The first year of study is known as AS (Advanced Subsidiary) Level and is a separate qualification. It is not considered on its own as adequate for university entrance but adds value to university applications.

Student Experience

Thorough guidance on University Applications & Destinations, Applications & Personal Statements by our Head of Sixth Form, Head of Secondary and School Counsellor
Dedicated Sixth Form Centre – café & lounge area
A dedicated space for use solely by the Sixth Form between 8am and 5pm. It is an area where students work independently and silently on tasks set by their teachers or ones they have identified will help them improve.
Sixth Form students will also have access to all the other facilities in the school.
We visited numerous international schools in Klang-Valley and Sri KDU Subang Jaya was not even on our list. Reason being it is way out of our travelling radius. However, we are glad we made the visit to the school before our final call, and it was the best decision ever! It was a huge transition period for us during the first 2 weeks into school, but the school’s team (Teachers, Administrative and Parent’s Teacher Association) made us feel right at home. We were given clear guidance and was kept well informed on the happenings in the school. My daughter blended into the community quite well with the care provided by the Homeroom teacher. All the teachers here are the kindest, as she told me. She looks forward to going to school and has become more disciplined in terms on knowing what tasks she needs to complete daily. She has gained so much confidence during this short period of time and was given the encouragement to explore and develop her abilities here. She was just selected as the new Primary House Captain for Year 6 AY2022/2023.
Every parent want to find the ‘perfect’ school for their child and are afraid of making the wrong decision. For us, as long she is safe and happy, we believe, she will eventually find the way to her own success.
