Surrounded by scenic views of nature in Seremban, away from the hustle and bustle of the city lies Soka International School Malaysia (SISM), a beacon of educational excellence. With a commitment to nurturing young minds through the principles of Soka Education, Soka International School Malaysia aims to provide a holistic learning experience that goes beyond just academics.
At the heart of SISM lies the essence of Soka philosophy which means value creation in Japanese. They firmly believe that education is not only about providing knowledge but also about empowering students to create value in every aspect of their lives. SISM’s curriculum, programs, and initiatives are all designed with this fundamental principle in mind, ensuring that every student graduates as global citizens equipped with the tools to make a positive impact on the world.
Central to this approach is the school’s belief in the unlimited potential of every student. They understand that the quality of the bond between teacher and student is essential in unlocking and nurturing this potential. That is why Soka International School’s teachers are not just educators but they additionally act as compassionate counsellors or stand-in parents away from home, dedicated to nurturing the unique talents and abilities of each student under their guidance. They go above and beyond to ensure that every child feels seen, heard, valued and are able to grow and develop steadily at their own pace. To the teachers at Soka International School, teaching is not just a job, but a lifelong passion. To them, being a teacher and guiding their students comes genuinely from their heart.
The vision of SISM extends beyond just academic excellence, but also to the cultivation of global citizens with a rich inner humanity and intellect. Their motto, "Be Genuine Learners, Be Global Citizens," showcases their commitment to building a community of learners dedicated to lifelong learning, courage, diversity, and compassion. Through their diverse student body ranging from nine different nationalities and an inclusive environment, they strive to instil the wisdom and empathy needed to navigate an increasingly diverse and heterogeneous world.
SISM understands the importance of providing a conducive environment for learning. Their state-of-the-art facilities are meticulously designed with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in mind to stimulate intellectual curiosity and foster creativity. From cutting-edge classrooms to innovative laboratories and recreational spaces, every aspect of their infrastructure is geared towards enriching the learning experience of the students. Students aren't the only ones who were taken into consideration in the design of the school as parents and guardians are also welcomed with a visitor centre designed to provide a comfortable and informative experience. With cosy seating arrangements, bean bags and books for kids, complimentary beverages, and individual greenhouse meeting rooms, visitors can relax while learning more about the school's history, curriculum, philosophies and facilities.
Soka International School further believes that education is the key to unlocking the full potential of every individual. Through a humanistic approach to learning, they focus on the progress of each and every student, providing them with the support and encouragement they need to thrive. As Daisaku Ikeda, the founder of Soka International School Malaysia quotes “It is people that make our legal systems; it is people that make our economy function; and it is people that make scientific advances. But it is education that makes human beings. Education is therefore the most important, the most sacred of tasks, deserving our highest respect."
