Seven Skies International School (SSI), a provider of international Islamic education in Malaysia, celebrated its 10th year in the Malaysian educational landscape, a milestone event in their commitment to providing quality holistic education and producing well-rounded individuals.
Established in 2014, the school started with eight students and it has grown exponentially, now with 400 students.
Tahir Usman, the chief executive officer of SSI said SSI’s presence in Selangor has made a notable contribution to the local economy.
“Not only does the school attract local students, but it also serves as a magnet for international families. Many parents, drawn by SSI’s reputation for excellence, have chosen to settle in Selangor, thereby injecting vitality into the local economy through their contributions to housing, consumer spending, and various services.
“Together with parents, guardians, dedicated teachers and our remarkable students, we create a harmonious partnership that shapes the future of our Ummah,” Tahir said.
He added, “In embracing diversity and fostering academic excellence, SSI not only shapes young minds but also enriches the fabric of our community.”
The celebration was held on the school grounds. Among the event’s highlights was the unveiling of SSI’s achievements and milestones spanning the past decade.
A significant feature was the inauguration of the 100 Muslim Heroes Annual Exhibition that was officiated by the mayor of Shah Alam, Cheremi Tarman, showcasing Muslim role models from history to the present day.
During the event that was also attended by parents and prospective students, SSI also shared their academic achievements to date. Ever since IGCSE was offered to its students in 2017, the passing rate of the exams have been 100% with an average of 89.5% of students obtaining the grades A* – B.
During the recent IGCSE exams, one of SSI’s students was awarded the Top in Malaysia for the Cambridge IGCSE Islamiyat syllabus during the Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards.
Latt Danial, an SSI alumna said, “SSI had provided me with my identity not only as a Muslim but as a person as well, most of the foundation that I learned about being a valuable individual to the society came from SSI – from the basics of Islamic worship to soft skills and social behaviour. I still keep up with all the practices that SSI has taught me until today, and I’m very grateful for all of that.”
SSI follows Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) UK for kindergarten, UK national syllabus for primary, and IGCSE Cambridge for Secondary O Levels with a strong Islamic education curriculum focusing on the three pillars: Qur’anic Studies, Islamic Studies and the Arabic language.
In addition to academic education, SSI also offers a unique Character Development programme focusing on building soft skills, promoting self-resilience and leadership skills along with emotional stability for students.
The school’s emphasis on holistic education represents an investment in the development of human capital, preparing students for future success in a variety of professional fields by fostering the students’ intellectual, cultural and religious development.
