Asia Pacific Schools Subang Jaya

International Curriculum
An international education at Asia Pacific School gives your child a head starts towards success in a highly globalised world. Our holistic, student-focused approach is based on the understanding that effective learning is more than just academic achievement. We acknowledge that every child has different learning styles, experiences, expectations, and needs. As such, each child progresses differently.
At the same time, we also recognise that academic performance is a key indicator of students’ ability to learn. Thus, our aim is to create a learning environment that helps our students develop self-confidence and an attitude of excellence so that they are motivated to learn independently
We are proud that our approach has resulted in strong academic outcomes, with our students ranking among the best in the country.
The Early Years
The Early Years programme encourages children to learn and grow in a stimulating and nurturing environment. Our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, based on the English National Curriculum, encourages well-rounded development that includes personal and social skills, and physical development.
Students as young as three years old are encouraged to let their creative and curious minds lead their daily learning through purposeful play activities. With this play-based approach, our thematic curriculum lets children experience becoming knights and princesses, community helpers, world travellers, archaeologists and more, while discovering a world of learning in the process.
Primary
The child-centred, thematic approach of the Primary years’ curriculum ensures that children in Key Stage 1 (5 – 7 years old) and Key Stage 2 (7 – 11 years old) are fully engaged and enjoy the learning process. We also form strong social and emotional bonds with students and parents, as a supportive environment helps our children’s development into successful, confident, effective, and responsible learners. Our assessments are designed to ensure that each child is on track with their academic goals while helping them develop a ‘can do’ attitude towards their learning.
Secondary
Students in the Secondary years’ programme, which includes Key Stage 3 (Year 7 – Year 9) and Key Stage 4 (Year 10 & Year 11), work towards attaining their IGCSEs. The aim at this stage is to develop learners who can succeed academically, emotionally, and socially. This is balanced with rigorous academic requirements and a growing expectation to be independent, responsible learners. Teachers work closely with students, mentoring them in this crucial process of growth.
Malaysian National Curriculum 
Blending local and international approaches to education, the Malaysian National Curriculum at APS prepares Malaysian students for success, armed with a global perspective. While our priority is to enable students to achieve academic excellence in taking their UPSR, PT3 & SPM examinations, our focus goes beyond just classroom study and centres on developing well-rounded learners who excel academically, pastorally, and socially.
In addition to our excellent academic results we are one of the few schools licensed to conduct the Dual Language Programme, where the primary medium of instruction is Bahasa Malaysia, and Mathematics and Science is taught in English.
Primary
The Primary years in the Malaysian National Curriculum at APS are based on the Malaysian National Primary School Standard Curriculum, or Kurikulum Standard Sekolah Rendah (KSSR), from Standard 1 to 6 (from ages 7-12). Students are assessed under the Pelaporan Pentaksiran Sekolah Rendah (PPSR) which comprises the Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR); Pentaksiran Bilik Darjah (PBD); Pentaksiran Aktiviti Jasmani, Sukan dan Kokurikulum (PAJSK) and Pentaksiran Psikometrik (PPsi) as per the Malaysian Ministry of Education’s requirements.
Secondary
Students then move on to the Secondary programme to further build upon the foundations already laid, studying the Kurikulum Bersepadu Sekolah Menengah (KBSM). Students are assessed under Pentaksiran Berasaskan Sekolah (PBS), leading to the Pentaksiran Tingkatan 3 (PT3) examination in Form 3 and culminating in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination in Form 5.
