“To be unaware of what happened before your life is to forever remain a child”
— CICERO
Our Aims
We aim to explore the world’s history, both recent and ancient, through political, economic, and social lenses. We want to use the unique talents and characteristics of the student body to push the boundaries of learning and of the subject. This is a partnership between teachers, students and parents.
Our Curriculum
n Years 7-9, Key Stage 3 students study skills and techniques in History as well as popular topics such as Slavery, Empire and the two World Wars. There is a varied and balanced approach using sources, essays and projects, Assessment is undertaken every 6 weeks or so. In Key Stage 4, students in Years 10 and 11 follow the Cambridge IGCSE History course, which comprises three written exams. This course is demanding, rigorous, but ultimately enriching in its depth and breadth. At Key Stage 5 we deliver the IB History Programme at both Standard and Higher Level. Assessment at KS4 and KS5 is undertaken along similar lines to KS3.
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.
