Learning at OIS

Learning is intercultural when
students and teachers
recognize the inherent value
of every person, pursue
cultural understanding, and
engage others with an
attitude of empathy and
collaboration, enabling them
to effectively navigate an
interconnected and changing
world.

Learning is values-based
when students and teachers
know their core values and
convictions, empathize and
care for others, and take
action because they care, see
needs and opportunities,
gather others around a vision
and move towards the vision
as a team, imagine what can
be, seeking solutions, without
fear of failure in order to
create something better.

Learning is excellent when
highly qualified teachers
intentionally design effective
learning experiences that
meet the needs of all
students in an environment
where everyone feels valued
and safe.

Technology at Oasis

Oasis International School – Kuala Lumpur is pleased to announce it has been recognized as an Apple Distinguished School for
the 2024–2027 program term. Schools apply and are selected for this distinction based on their commitment to continuous
innovation in education and using Apple products to inspire, imagine, and impact teaching and learning.

Apple Distinguished Schools are centers of leadership and educational excellence, with a clear vision for how technology-rich
environments support learning goals. In Apple Distinguished Schools, forward-thinking leaders and their communities work to
inspire, imagine, and impact teaching and learning, and they have documented results of academic accomplishments.

We believe that technology not only fosters creativity and innovation but also leads to deeper and more meaningful learning. We engage technology as a fundamental part of the learning process. Receiving this recognition is a testament to the incredible work in and outside of the classrooms to create a high-quality integrated learning environment. We are proud to be recognized in this accomplishment and look forward to carrying this momentum forward for the success of all in our community.

U.S. Curriculum that is promoting Global Citizenship

At OIS, we provide a rewarding educational
experience for your child using the U.S. model. We
believe that the United States education system is
successful because of its commitment to having
qualified and caring teachers, offering a
personalized learning experience, educating using
a holistic approach, and appreciating diversity.
Learn how OIS implements each of these
important elements to help students be successful and ready for university with a U.S. diploma in hand.

Pathway to University

After completing all required credits, students earn a U.S. diploma that can take them to leading universities around the world. Students aren’t alone in their journey to get a diploma. Throughout high school, students have access to academic advising and university counseling.
These counselors help students in their application to universities and assist with organizing testing for the PSAT, SAT, and ACT–assessments that measure the knowledge and skills that students learn in high school and need for academic success at university. Schools using the U.S. syllabus also often offer Advanced
Placement (AP) courses to provide students with university-level academic courses that give them an advantage when applying to universities and for scholarships around the world.
