Within the classroom environment, students are given appropriate guidance to help them strive for academic excellence. With booster class available for students especially during exam seasons, students have an avenue to better prepare themselves before sitting for the exams. Beyond the classroom, students are highly encouraged to participate in external academic activities and competitions as these activities would give the students the opportunity to sharpen their academic prowess and gain confidence.

REAL Schools Johor Bahru is committed to achieving the delicate balance between academic and personal progress, ensuring that students meet and exceed academic benchmarks while fostering a strong ethical foundation. Through leadership programmes, community service, and hands-on problem-solving activities, students are challenged to think critically and act responsibly, preparing them to navigate life’s complexities with grace.

Reflecting on the guiding principles of the school, Dr. Chandra emphasises how inclusivity is at the heart of REAL Schools’ philosophy, with a belief that “every child matters.” The school embraces diversity, creating an environment where every student feels valued and supported. Dr. Chandra highlights how classrooms are designed to welcome all backgrounds, providing differentiated instruction and mentorship programmes that make transitions smooth for every learner. With intercultural activities celebrating varied perspectives, your child will thrive in a culture of respect and open-mindedness.

REAL Schools Johor Bahru offer both the Malaysian national curriculum and the world- renowned UK international curriculum, offering a holistic learning experience that prepares students for the future. The national curriculum provides a robust foundation in local knowledge, while the international curriculum encourages creativity and critical thinking. By integrating these two distinct educational frameworks, students are empowered to engage with both local and global issues, equipping them with the skills to make a meaningful impact in an interconnected world.

 Collaboration and experiential learning are key aspects of the school’s educational philosophy. Dr. Chandra believes that working on projects with peers from diverse backgrounds enhances understanding and empathy. Community service and cultural exchanges expose students to real-world challenges, allowing them to appreciate different perspectives and become compassionate global citizens.

One of the cornerstones of REAL Schools is its commitment to differentiated learning. Every child is unique, and the school recognises this by tailoring teaching strategies to support individual progress. “We understand that every student is different,” Dr. Chandra emphasises, ensuring that your child receives the personalised attention they need to flourish. This approach builds confidence and encourages students to reach their full potential, nurturing a love for learning.

The school provides numerous opportunities for student leadership and community involvement, cultivating open-minded individuals committed to making a difference.
