English Department

"It isn’t what we say or think that defines us, but what we do"
— JANE AUSTEN

Our Aims

The main aim of our English Department is to inspire, engage and create a lifelong passion for learning. Our curriculum supports our school’s mission statement of creating “Tomorrow’s Leaders, Here and Now” and we have developed a programme of study across all Key Stages that encourages our learners to be passionate readers and creative thinkers. We aim to provide a powerful curriculum that ‘Builds Learning Power’ and excites our students’ perceptions of the global world, of which they will be leaders.

As an international school, we draw upon the wealth of culture and diversity of our staff and students, and utilise this in our schemes of work which provide challenge, curiosity but above all, a love of learning. We provide a curriculum that is accessible and stimulating to all students, and provide support for all students as they strive to achieve their potential.

Our Curriculum

In Years 7-9, Key Stage 3 students explore the world of language and literature through a range of units based on prose, poetry, creative writing, non-fiction, drama and Shakespeare. Following the National Curriculum of England, we ensure our students build the necessary skills across reading, writing and speaking and listening. Students in Years 10 and 11 follow the Cambridge IGCSE English Language and Literature syllabus. We believe that the IGCSE courses that we provide, develop our students with essential lifelong skills, including creative thinking and problem-solving.

Michii Teo, Parent of Hazel Wong

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.

Hannah Ho, Parent of Sofia and Sulaiman

We were hunting for a British international school in Malaysia that embraces neuro-diversity for “third culture family” and Sri KDU International School Subang Jaya was our best fit.

We are blessed to have 2 happy and active children enrolled here since 2019. They are confident learners with growth mindsets, self-assured and given ample academic and co-curricular opportunities to build their life-skills and practice leadership skills while forming their personalities in a safe environment.

The continuous support from Senior Leadership Team members, teachers, specialist teachers, teaching assistants, counsellors and support staff are contributing success factors to our “home-child-school” partnership.

We continue to look forward to various best possible positive outcomes for our 2 “precious not-so-little ones” in the next few years.
