We provide two curricula, the British-based curriculum heading towards the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) under Cambridge International Examinations and the other is the National Curriculum with emphasis on the English language that leads to the Malaysian Schools Certificate. Our programs start in January but children are admitted throughout the year. English is the main medium of instruction throughout the school.
We are located in Johor Bahru in Malaysia, only 5 kilometers from the causeway connecting JB to Singapore. Though we are just near the middle of the city and close by the new Danga Bay Waterside development, you will be impressed by the large garden surrounding the charming, old-world buildings in such quiet surroundings.
The premises are within old colonial bungalows commissioned by the late Sultan Sir Ibrahim for his senior British Administration officers.

Ara is the Malay name for the Ficus Benjamina tree, commonly known as the Weeping Fig or Benjamin’s Fig. This tree is found all over the area of the school compound. The school is set in an exclusive residential area amidst luscious greenery conducive to a unique educational environment providing peace and tranquility.
We adopt standards that clearly define what your child needs to know to be able to succeed in school, at higher and tertiary education, in his or her future workplace and life. We monitor and manage their educational progress through continuous assessments throughout the academic year. We also offer internationally accredited assessment programs, such as the International Competitions and Assessments for Schools.
We believe that a well-structured and balanced educational program is essential to ensuring every student’s holistic development – we place great emphasis upon developing and realizing their true intelligence and emotional skills. (IQ and EQ) Apart from ensuring adherence and compliance to the Ministry of Education’s curriculum, we have a well-structured unique alternative education program.
Our low student-teacher ratio enables children to develop a unique relationship with their teachers, thus forming a healthy student-teacher relationship providing a source of inspiration and guidance throughout their schooling at Seri Ara. This allows for a more individualized channel of communication and an invaluable point of reference to each child’s overall academic development and well-being.
Our nonacademic program consists of an extensive range of extra-curricular activities (ECA). Among the list of extra-curricular activities are chess, taekwondo, badminton, and home science.
School hours on Monday to Thursday are from 8.00 am to 3-3 pm. On Friday 8.00 am to 3.00 pm. Extra-curricular activities are after school hours from Monday to Thursday.
