Ara Schools

….. What I cherish at Sri Ara is that it’s an excellent place for children to learn to work together and help each other regardless of any age group or where you are from.

It’s a beautiful environment which we will always cherish and remember…

….. The first time my husband and I walked into this school we loved it. The environment and surroundings, the students and teachers were all so cheerful. It was so different from the conventional schools that we were used to. This school has an excellent concept of small classes that help nurture each child as an individual, to excel in his or her own way and bring out the best potential in each student…

….. Looking back over the years watching Iz grow, as his parents we are more than glad and thankful that we have chosen the right and also the best school for him. The transformation he has undergone till now would not be a reality if not for the outstanding help and support from the school and its dynamic management team…

…I gained leadership equalities through the SRC (Student Representatives’ Council). Being involved with the SRC gave me ample opportunities to plan events for the school and interact with the other students…..

“The strength of the school lies in art,” said student representative council president Syakir.
He was encouraged to develop his interest in fine arts and in October last year, he had his first art exhibition entitled, “Bad Boys” that featured portraits in acrylic.
Syakir, who joined the school in Primary 2 of the Malaysian syllabus, plans to further his studies in fine arts.

Linda Len, whose son Len, joined the school a year ago, is pleased with her son’s results and the school’s curriculum that teaches him to excel academically and in co-curricular activities.

Since her son discovered his interest in the art of dragon dancing, he had found two sponsors to help the school acquire the musical instruments and the dragon costume. He now leads the troop of dragon dance exponents.

Mr. Shannon, who has two daughters, respectively, in the school, was delighted with his girls’ gradual but remarkable progress in their studies after only six months in the school.

Mrs. Gaerlan has four children aged between 8 and 14, in the school.

She said the school’s environment encouraged her children, who were once very shy and timid, to be more self-confident.

“I’m impressed with the racial integration and camaraderie among students in this school,” said the school’s discipline master and senior teacher Patrick Tan, who has been with the school for six years.

This is my daughter’s 6th year and the 3rd year for my son at Sri Ara International School. When we start sending my daughter to this school, there were not many choices for non Malaysian children in Johor Bahru…
