    A visionary leader of education for a better world, Fairview uses the best teaching practices from around the world. All campuses are designed with 21st-century learning in mind, wireless, digitally advanced, and up to date with the newest educational technology. Fairview Penang is an English medium, co-educational day school set within extensively purpose-built grounds.
    Some of the school’s facilities include air-conditioned classrooms, school field, multi-purpose room, basketball court, canteen, IT resource center, library, and performing arts rooms.
    The school also offers English language support, counseling services, and tutorial classes for students.
    Established in late 2006, Fairview International School Penang is the only school in Penang authorized to offer both Primary Years Programme and Middle Years Programme to learners aged 3 to 16. The school is nestled among greeneries next to a beautiful lake in the suburb of Bukit Jambul. We follow the UK National curriculum.
    Fairview’s teachers are deeply committed to our students’ learning progress and holistic development, which act as our core belief and utmost priority. Our campus is filled with passionate, caring, and supportive teachers and staff who care for the future of our next generation. Exciting inquiries, intellectual conversations, heart-warming service, and action, as well as thought-provoking discussions, can often be seen, heard, and felt in all corners of the school daily.
    As a WWF certified Eco-School, we promote environmental friendliness and uphold a sustainable learning environment for all. Our students enjoy their time in school be it for lessons, sports, or co-curricular activities. Each of these global citizens always goes the extra mile in all that they do our teachers are ever ready to guide them in a myriad range of concept-based activities. We are proud to have a closely-knit parent group that acts as our partners in motivating our students to keep moving forward in all learning areas.
    As soon as you visit us, you will notice our diversity, with over 20 nationalities represented in the student body. Fairview Penang is one of the few campuses that offers genuine and warm hospitality that welcomes people from all around the world with open minds and hearts. We are equally proud of our graduates who are admitted to many of the world’s best colleges and universities. Come on board with us, on a journey of discovery!
    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.
    A curriculum based on the best research evidence and successful teaching and learning strategies for children of diverse backgrounds and learning needs. A vibrant center for educational, recreational, cultural, and social programs for children and adults in an international community that draws upon and contributes to the vitality of the international community through an innovative and focused curriculum. A culture of continuous professional growth for all staff, Fairview functions as a “Hub” for educators throughout the world, regularly engaging teachers in a wide range of learning opportunities that promote ongoing professional growth.
    Fairview International School aims to be a vibrant center for educational, personal, and social growth in the world providing a rich academic curriculum for children in the local and international community. Through the use of best practices in teaching and learning, Fairview International School will educate, motivate and inspire students in an educational environment that stimulates learning in a nurturing social and emotional climate.
