    Fairview Johor (FISJ) an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School stands proud within a new purpose-built campus amid the bustling Tebrau area in Bandar Dato Onn. Easily accessible from Singapore and within minutes of the Senai International Airport, FISJ has attracted a fairly balanced diversity in the student population.
    Our main focus is to provide a rich academic curriculum and thus our advent into IB. Using the UK National Curriculum as our solid base and the IB curriculum framework to envelope it, we have devised a learning journey that matters to our digital-age students. Students no longer need to rely on one author’s perspective and memories textbooks to ace examinations. Students in Fairview are exposed to myriad approaches to learning, learn life skills rather than to score in examinations, share and collaborate in learning while at the same time take responsibility for their learning. Action and service form an integral component of the curriculum and the whole school community share in the learning experience.
    ‘An instrument a child’ – all students must learn a musical instrument as part of the curriculum.
    ‘Edu Resort’ –styled along the lines of an Outward Bound adventure, students experience a week in our very own beach resort in Port Dickson, Malaysia.
    Expeditions – Bi-Annual overseas expeditions for Middle school students build in the life skills of survival, camaraderie spirit, independence, taking calculated risks, caring, sharing, open-mindedness, and of course being reflective.
    Stress is placed on co-curricular activities and healthy competitions among other schools are encouraged. We offer a widespread range of uniformed groups, clubs, and games for all children ranging from the Primary Years to the Middle Years.
    We believe that the community must be part of the learning process of the students. Parents join in classroom learning experiences with students, partake in events and initiate activities that would be beneficial to the learning journey. Coffee mornings, carnival, National Days, traditional festivals, and other special days or events, like Pink Month, 30 hours fast for World Vision, and various other charitable activities are heavily patronized by our parent community.
    Our academic staff strength boasts of Ph.D. and Masters Holders in education and hail from several countries. All staff has to attend weekly professional development sessions apart from the mandatory workshops conducted by the IB Office.
    As the ONLY IB World School in Johor for the Primary Years and Middle Years Programme, I am proud to say that we have established a niche in IB education for the past 7 years not just for the 21st century and beyond but in general for a better world.
    Established in 1978, Fairview International School Johor Bahru (FISJB) is the premier international school in Malaysia that offers the whole suite of IB curriculum. Our highly qualified teachers, predominantly internationally trained and experienced teachers deliver quality education to students from pre-school to Year 12, culminating in the widely recognized IB Diploma. At FISJB, our students are encouraged to explore and discover in a learning environment that embraces individual abilities.
    The belief that ‘good teachers make for good learning’ is deeply ingrained into the Fairview ethos. Teachers are nurtured through an advanced systematic professional development program. Lifelong learning takes on a new meaning at Fairview as teachers and learners both learn together and from each other! Every year, over 40 teachers are recognized for their contribution to the school by being offered a Masters in Education Full Scholarship in association with Sheffield Hallam University (UK). With over 120 Masters's students in Fairview at any one time, lifelong learning, a unique culture that believes in continuous personal development, self-efficacy, and pushing the boundaries of education is fostered. At Fairview, we believe it is only when our educators approach education with humility, an open mind, and excitement at the possibilities within that we may be able to unlock the potential in the students placed in our charge.
    The 2015 results of the IB Diploma program bear testimony to the unique Fairview culture. By committing to the delivery of a holistic academic program integrating the development of skills (Approaches to Learning – ATL), values (Learner Profile), and experiential learning (Community, Action, Service – CAS), we can nurture learners who are academically inspirational and holistically balanced. Our students achieved outstanding results with the highest score being 42 out of the maximum of 45. While the world average stood at 30, Fairview’s average was a stunning 36 with 61 % of our students gaining either 6 or 7 points out of the maximum of 7 and a 100% pass rate.
    In 2015, our students expectedly received offers and scholarships for admittance at world-renowned universities like London School of Economics (Scholarship – Economics), Kings College (Scholarship – Dentistry), University of British Columbia (Scholarship – Engineering), and University of Melbourne (Scholarship – Chemical Engineering).
    Annual Expeditions to local and international destinations bring learning outside the 4 classroom walls, creating contextual connections to the educational experiences. Students bring home invaluable experiences as they scale the Great Wall of China whilst empathizing with the incredible sacrifices borne by the laborers, all the time making connections between cause and causation, finally reflecting on its relevance to the current day.
    Students at Fairview are introduced to the concept of international-mindedness from the many Fairs, Celebrations, and Food Festivals held in the School. However, to truly internalize the concept, the student organizes FairMUN (Model United Nations) conference that brings together over 300 students from around the region to discuss, challenge, and explores the many impossible decisions made by world leaders. Fairview also organized the World Scholars Cup competition, bringing over 3000 students together from around the world to KL.
