Malaysia's Leading Education Network
IDRISSI International School was founded in 2015 by parents who dreamed of building a school where children genuinely love to learn and teachers go beyond the four walls of a traditional classroom. From that heartfelt dream, IDRISSI has grown into Malaysia’s first Eco Islamic international school, with a world-class Cambridge education. Everything we do at IDRISSI is to nurture children who are rooted in their faith, at home in nature and ready to contribute to the world. By weaving eco and Islamic values into every lesson, children leave IDRISSI prepared not just academically, but in character and values.
At IDRISSI, education is about more than what happens in the classroom. We bring together Islamic values, eco-conscious learning and Cambridge education to give students a well-rounded foundation for their future.
Our founders believe that all students deserve to enjoy coming to school every day and learn without being confined within four walls.
Alongside Quranic studies and Islamic education, caring for our animals, plants and environment helps students put values like amanah and kindness into practice.
Students learn through our outdoor spaces and hands-on activities, while everyday practices like recycling help them understand how small actions can make a difference.
Students follow the Cambridge International Curriculum, giving them a strong foundation for their future studies and beyond.
Our community brings together over 1,000 students from more than 20 nationalities, where students learn alongside friends from different cultures and backgrounds.
From the lab and art studio to the sports court, garden and our petting farm, students have a variety of spaces to explore, create and experiment.
Each IDRISSI campus is thoughtfully designed to deliver a world-class Eco Islamic learning experience. From day school to boarding, local to international.

Eco-driven STEM-Islamic school nurturing ethical, future-ready innovators
Every stage of learning is a step towards a brighter future. From the early years of discovery to the academic milestones of IGCSE, we nurture our children to become future-ready leaders.
Children are naturally curious, and we let them be. We give them the space to play and discover safely with their hands, eyes, nose and ears through nature and creative activities. Because the best discoveries are the ones they make themselves.
These are the years where children start to find their voice. Cambridge Primary prepares students with strong foundations in English, Mathematics and Science, wrapped in Eco Islamic values that build both knowledge and character.
These are the years where potential starts to take shape. Lower Secondary at IDRISSI is where students broaden their subject range, deepen their analytical skills and begin to find their academic strengths.
The best results come from preparation, du’a and the right support. Cambridge IGCSE is the gold standard of secondary education, accepted by top universities globally. Students are supported by expert educators and a structured exam preparation programme.
Our students graduate with Cambridge IGCSE qualifications recognised by leading universities worldwide, paired with the character and values to thrive anywhere.

“The most important thing for me is that whenever my child wants to perform solah, we don’t have to call him. He will do it naturally, and I am very sure this comes from the practice in school.”
Mdm. Siti Erli Fazira

Parent, IDRISSI School Setia Alam
“One of the lessons I will take from IDRISSI and carry on with me will be to rely on my friends and never walk through things alone, because with a proper support system, you can go really far.”

Imagine a world where the young generation is not only academically brilliant but also emotionally intelligent, practising virtuous traits such as kindness, compassion, respect and empathy. Value Education Programme, or known as VEP is a character-building programme that emphasises on social-emotional learning skills, where students learn to create meaningful connections with everyone around them. Good values are instilled in a variety of activities for the students to be involved in such as the Cookout to share recipes among friends, Charity Bake Sale to raise funds for the needy, visits to Charity Homes and many more.

IDRISSI International School is the first international school in Malaysia to implement STEM with Robotics Curriculum. The curriculum is accredited and certified by Global STEM Alliance (GSA) and International Technology and Engineering Educators Association (ITEEA). Through hands-on and creative learning, students explore engineering concepts, design, coding, and problem-solving using STEM-friendly robots. Rather than learning in theory alone, students are challenged to develop robots that solve real, everyday problems which helps foster their interest in subjects like Mathematics, Coding, Engineering, Science and Technology, all of which lead to innovation.
The JASS Programme is an internationally recognised, accredited progressive learning programme offered to students aged 10–14, designed to develop well-rounded character and a sense of purpose beyond the classroom. It gives our students an edge over the rest in their education portfolio. Fully aligned with current educational thinking and IDRISSI’s outdoor learning strategy, the programme recognises growth across four key areas:
FLiP is IDRISSI’s Financial Literacy Programme, developed in partnership with MoneyTree Asia Pacific, one of the region’s leading financial education providers. Unlike most Malaysian schools that offer financial literacy as an elective, we teach it as a core part of our curriculum. Our teachers are trained and certified by MoneyTree, equipping students with real money skills, which include budgeting, saving, understanding debt, investing and the importance of giving. We believe that a child who understands money grows into an adult who is responsible, generous, and financially free.
Learning at IDRISSI goes far beyond the classroom. Our students explore the wider world and apply their knowledge through hands-on experiences in our outdoor learning spaces. Eco Programme is a dedicated subject within our curriculum, while Eco Scouts runs every Friday for Year 1 to Year 3, where students take part in activities like making self-watering planters, rainwater harvesting, patch farming, recycling and more. Through these experiences, they discover firsthand how even the smallest actions can make a big impact on the environment.

As the continuity of the JASS programme, students will participate in The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE), an international leading achievement award programme for students aged 14 and above. The programme is fully aligned with current educational thinking and IDRISSI’s outdoor learning strategy. It is internationally recognised and will give our students an edge over the rest in their education portfolio.

Another customised subject we include in our curriculum is Skill and Fill, where students learn traditional Turkish Archery from trainers certified by the Yunus Emre Institute (world-wide non-profit organisation by the Turkish government) and the Okçular Vakfi (Archers’ Foundation of Turkey). The traditional sport is being taught together with its underlying historical, athletic, artistic, cultural and educational values. Being focused, confident and having a good sense of coordination are some of the positive values students can benefit from the programme.
