MIDDLE SCHOOL

The Middle School at the Australian International School Malaysia is a distinctive and caring community environment which focuses on nurturing and fully developing the individual potential of all students in a supportive and academically challenging environment.

Students in the middle years are growing towards independence. Students are supported in their personal development by class tutors who mentor, monitor and support as students move through Years 5-8. Class home teachers provide a point of immediate contact for parents and a means to collaboratively address issues as they arise.

The Middle School curriculum provides challenging standards, skills, creativity, and flexibility to help students grow towards self reliance and responsible participation in a global society.

Students in each year level are immersed in a range of challenging outdoor experiences away from the campus and in some distinctive personal development programmes that aim to develop character, resilience and personal integrity as a basis for their adult lives.  School camps are an important element of this program and form an integral part of the curriculum.

The Middle School operates on the premise that education can foster understanding among young people around the world, encouraging future generations to live peacefully and productively together.

This curriculum is divided into eight key learning areas:

  • English
  • Mathematics
  • Science
  • HSIE (Human Society and its Environment)
  • Personal Development, Health and Physical Education
  • Visual Arts and Mandatory Technology
  • Performing Arts (Music and Drama)
  • L.O.T.E. (Language Other Than English)

In addition to these key learning areas, the students in the Middle School also complete an Integrated Research Project each term.
