“Where international education meets affordability.”
We are a private international secondary school for families in Seberang Perai. Your child learns on your side of the bridge, closer to home.
If you live in Seberang Perai, a school on the island means the bridge every morning and every evening.
A school on your side of the water gives you that time back. Spend it on breakfast together, a chat in the car about their day, or an earlier night.
We are in Bukit Mertajam, in Central Seberang Perai. Juru, Seberang Jaya, Prai, Simpang Ampat, Kulim and Butterworth are all within about 11 km in a straight line.
