孩子可以根据自己的兴趣、优势、需求和愿望来定制课程，并遵循个性化的途径，包括丰富的活动（领导、服务和体育）、EPQ等，为大学阶段做好准备。

此外，学校提供学生发展的成就计划-ACHIEVE，有助于培养全方面学习者的特质，确保通过学术课程和专门的学习体验计划来促进孩子更广泛的发展。

除了这些经历之外，每个学生都能在职业教育、大学申请和毕业后的生活方面得到全方位的支持，以确保他们成为有成就感、自信的年轻人，有能力过上非常成功的国际化生活。

英语非母语的申请人在与英语语言专家或学习支持部门指定人员进行面试时，会对其英语水平是否足以进入学校课程进行评估。根据学生的年龄，要求申请人写一篇独立的文章。如学生被录取后仍需要专业英语语言支持，这些学生将安排学习EAL（英语作为附加语言）课程，并在这种支持下，提升英语水平达到足够的用来参加全部课程学习的程度。

每一个学生的体验学习都是通过有趣的、富有挑战性的活动和超越课堂的探险来加强的。

学校确保充分利用吉隆坡、亚洲及其他地区提供的丰富文化、社会和环境资源为学生创造活动机会。

在小学校园，全年都会有不同的旅行团，主要是延展和加强课堂学习。在4至6年级，除了学术成绩外，马来西亚境内的住宿出行还鼓励学生独立、培养个人技能，帮助学生以团队的方式工作。

在中学，每年的“旅行周”行程范围很广，从发达国家到发展中国家，从城市到丛林，各种环境都会带来个人、身体和智力方面的挑战。这些住宿出行主要关注以下要素：社区服务、个人发展以及与课程相关内容的学习。所有这些要素都有助于发展重要的生活技能，如合作、人际交往，最重要的是通过欣赏和理解不同文化和环境，帮助建立一个相互联系的社区。

培养孩子个人、社会、道德和情感的主动性是爱丽丝史密斯学校生活的重要组成部分，学校致力于学生的全面发展，并通过大量广泛的学习机会来实现。

在小学校园，不仅有前面提到的住宿出行，促进了独立、协作和个人技能的发展，还有6年级学生参加的鼓励个人成长、自信、毅力和责任感建立的挑战奖。

在中学校园，从模拟联合国到筹款、社区帮助、个人挑战奖、文化日、课外活动、更广泛的学习日、富有创意和表现力的艺术表演、参加国际体育比赛、旅行和探险，这些机会对所有学生来说都是巨大的影响。

此外，作为学校职业计划和个人、社会和健康教育（PSHE）课程的一部分，学校还为第四和第五关键阶段的学生提供一周的工作体验。这种个人发展可以让孩子更好地理解现实世界的需要。

仅凭成绩是无法在顶尖大学获得一席之地的，因此，学校丰富的课程是他们经验中不可或缺的一部分。

服务学习：尊重他人，有社区意识，为他人的发展做出贡献，这是爱丽丝史密斯教育的重要组成部分。

每年在小学校园举办的慈善日，通过令人叹为观止的摊位和活动安排，体现了学校社区的美好、慈善精神。学生们通过这些活动展示他们的创造力、协作能力和创新能力。

在中学校园，每年的中学旅行周旨在确保服务工作有意义并且可持续，提高社区的社会良知。学生可以选择各种环境，有助于学生培养生活技能，如合作、服务和人际交流，并通过欣赏和了解不同的文化和环境，帮助建立一个相互联系的社区。

工作的世界：学校在职业发展和规划方面投入了大量资金。在10年级的第三学期，每个学生都要接受莫里斯比测试(Morrisby Test)，测试结果帮助孩子确定可能感兴趣的领域。11年级的每个学生都要参加一个深入的一对一的职业面试，这有助于A-Level课程选择以及他们可能希望从事的工作类型。

WOW课程为学生安排一周的工作，培养业务技能、态度和责任心，从而提高了他们对组织和职业的认识。这个宝贵的经验有助于学生对高等教育和职业生涯的选择和态度。

小学校园俱乐部和活动：作为学校日的一部分，俱乐部活动提供了与志同道合的学生和专业教师合作的机会。

The Alice Smith School is a long-established, forward-thinking and leading not-for-profit international school in Kuala Lumpur, with a worldwide reputation for delivering educational excellence.

As Malaysia's first not-for-profit British international school, Alice Smith takes great pride in its achievements. Outstanding learning and teaching, a wide range of learning opportunities, high-calibre students, a professional and exceptional teaching staff, and an actively engaged community all help to make the school a wonderful place to be, and together they form the foundation of its success.

Through a rich and challenging curriculum, the school is committed to nurturing every child's growth and development in every aspect of their learning journey, and to achieving academic excellence. Students have a genuine love of learning and are taught by outstanding teachers; combined with the school's care, guidance and support, this ensures limitless opportunities for children to thrive academically, socially, physically and emotionally. Every year, students achieve high standards in external examinations and go on to secure places at the world's leading universities.

The Alice Smith School operates across two campuses, Primary and Secondary, where children maintain excellent standards of behaviour, show respect for others and build positive relationships with teachers and staff.

As a not-for-profit organisation, the school reinvests all fee income into the children's education, into sustaining and developing the school, and into maintaining the high quality of its facilities and resources.

The Alice Smith School is a warm and caring community that nurtures children to become lifelong learners: happy and healthy, respectful of others, community-minded, independent learners, and confident communicators and problem-solvers.

Beyond academic results, the school understands and places equal importance on the development of the whole person. It takes a holistic approach that gives every student a sense of personal achievement, exemplary values, good citizenship and a global outlook. Alice Smith students thoroughly enjoy their school and are fully prepared for life beyond it and for the wider world.

The school was established in 1946 by its original founder, Alice Fairfield-Smith.

Unable to find a suitable school for her daughter in Kuala Lumpur, Alice Fairfield-Smith, a Harvard biology graduate and experienced teacher, opened the school in her own home on Jalan Eaton. In doing so, she founded the first British international school in Malaysia.

Since its founding, the school has continually reinvented its learning spaces and teaching, always with the aim of innovating for its students' success.

School Mission

To guide students in the pursuit of learning excellence by nurturing, inspiring and enriching the lives and character of young people. The school believes that generous care and attention for every student brings out the best in everyone and creates a lasting sense of belonging.

The Primary Campus is located in bustling Kuala Lumpur, while the Secondary Campus is in Seri Kembangan, Selangor, surrounded by well-established residential communities, just 20 minutes' drive from the Kuala Lumpur city centre and 50 minutes from Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

Students have consistently achieved excellent results in past IGCSE and A-Level examinations, something the school is immensely proud of.

2025 A-Level and IGCSE Results

1. A Level

Overall performance was exceptional, with many graduates securing places at top universities in the UK, Europe, Canada and the United States (including the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, the University of Edinburgh, Imperial College London, the London School of Economics (LSE) and University College London (UCL)):

A* – A grades: 46.8% (around 47% of students achieved the very highest grades, far above the UK national average of 28.2%)

A* – B grades: 70.5% (around 71% of students achieved a B or above)

Top grade A*: 20.7% (compared with a UK national average of just 9.4%)

A* – C grades: 86.0%

A* – E pass rate: 97.3%

2. IGCSE

IGCSE results likewise demonstrate an exceptionally high academic standard:

A* (grades 9-8): 57% of all grades

A* – A (grades 9-7): an impressive 76%

A* – B (grades 9-6): an impressive 87%

Key Highlights

A high proportion of top grades: at A Level, nearly half of all grades were A/A*, while at IGCSE more than three-quarters of grades were A/A* (grades 7-9).

Strong university placements: graduates have gone on to numerous UK G5 universities and other leading institutions worldwide.

Based on the UK Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, learning is built around seven areas (Communication and Language; Physical Development; Personal, Social and Emotional Development; Literacy; Mathematics; Understanding the World; and Expressive Arts), drawing on leading educational philosophies and emphasising enquiry-based and outdoor learning.

• Encouraging children to participate actively is at the heart of the school's approach, which draws on recognised educational philosophies such as Reggio Emilia and Maria Montessori. Through carefully planned indoor and outdoor environments and highly qualified staff, it delivers a challenging and highly personalised curriculum. Every child is seen as an individual full of potential, with a focus on building confidence, curiosity and a spirit of exploration, while also caring for their emotional wellbeing.
• Outdoor learning: the spacious outdoor areas are an extension of the indoor classrooms. The school values exploratory outdoor play, allowing children to experience nature first-hand, take risks, build physical strength and gain knowledge.

Key Stage 1 (KS1, Years 1-2): children experience free-flow classrooms where they can choose from teacher-planned activities that spark their interests. In this way, children develop skills faster than they would in a more formal classroom setting.

Key Stage 2 (KS2, Years 3-6): the school's flexible, carefully planned cross-curricular units encourage students to make sense of their learning by connecting subjects with the real world. Learning driven by students' own questions is encouraged, tracked and documented as part of an authentic, connected learning process.

Teaching content is not fixed from year to year, giving the student body a genuine connection with an ever-changing world. Alice Smith teachers aim to make learning as authentic as possible, setting children real-life problems that help them apply their skills through activities that are relevant, experiential and motivating.

• According to the Primary Academic Excellence page on The Alice Smith School's website, the school uses the Standard Age Score (SAS, ranging from 59 to 141) from GL Assessment, the UK's leading assessment body, to evaluate Year 6 students' ability in English, Maths and Science, and benchmarks the results against UK national and global international school averages.
• Below is a summary of the academic results:
• I. Year 6 Average Standard Age Score (Average SAS) Comparison
• Across all three core subjects, Alice Smith Year 6 students performed significantly above both the UK national average and the global international school average (benchmark average score: 100):

Key Highlights

Outstanding academic strength: nearly 60% (59%) of the school's students score in the high band for English, while in Maths and Science over 40% of students perform well above the UK benchmark.

Internationally leading teaching quality: whether measured by overall average scores or by the proportion of high achievers, the academic performance of Alice Smith's Primary Campus far exceeds both the UK national standard and that of comparable international schools.

Key Stage 3 (KS3, Years 7-9): building on the knowledge and understanding gained in their earlier education, children develop their grasp of a broader range of subjects through key learning skills. They study 14 different subjects, including English, Mathematics, Science and two modern foreign languages.

In Year 9, children also have the opportunity to choose two elective courses, tailoring their studies to their own interests and aspirations before beginning the IGCSE programme in Year 10. The electives on offer vary from year to year; past courses have included the following:

Students can tailor their programme around their own interests, strengths, needs and aspirations, following a personalised pathway that includes enrichment activities (leadership, service and sport), the EPQ and more, preparing them thoroughly for university.

In addition, the school offers ACHIEVE, a student development programme that helps cultivate the qualities of a well-rounded learner, ensuring children's broader development is supported through both the academic curriculum and a dedicated programme of learning experiences.

Beyond these experiences, every student receives comprehensive support with careers education, university applications and life after graduation, ensuring they become fulfilled, confident young people equipped to lead highly successful international lives.

Applicants whose first language is not English are assessed during an interview with an English language specialist or a designated member of the Learning Support team to determine whether their English is sufficient to access the school's curriculum. Depending on the student's age, applicants are asked to produce an independent piece of writing. Students who still require specialist English language support after admission are placed on the EAL (English as an Additional Language) programme, and with this support they raise their English to a level that allows them to access the full curriculum.

Every student's experiential learning is enhanced through engaging, challenging activities and adventures that extend beyond the classroom.

The school makes full use of the rich cultural, social and environmental resources available in Kuala Lumpur, across Asia and beyond to create opportunities for its students.

At the Primary Campus, a variety of trips take place throughout the year, primarily to extend and reinforce classroom learning. In Years 4 to 6, residential trips within Malaysia go beyond academic learning to encourage independence, develop personal skills and help students learn to work as a team.

At Secondary, the annual "Trips Week" offers a wide range of destinations, from developed to developing countries and from cities to jungles, with every environment presenting personal, physical and intellectual challenges. These residential trips focus on three key elements: community service, personal development and curriculum-linked learning. All of these help develop vital life skills such as collaboration and interpersonal communication and, most importantly, help build an interconnected community through an appreciation and understanding of different cultures and environments.

Developing children's personal, social, moral and emotional initiative is an essential part of life at Alice Smith. The school is committed to the all-round development of its students and delivers this through an extensive range of learning opportunities.

At the Primary Campus, in addition to the residential trips mentioned above, which foster independence, collaboration and personal skills, Year 6 students take part in a Challenge Award that encourages personal growth, confidence, perseverance and a sense of responsibility.

At the Secondary Campus, opportunities range from Model United Nations to fundraising, community support, personal challenge awards, cultural days, co-curricular activities, wider learning days, creative and expressive arts performances, international sporting competitions, trips and expeditions, all of which have a tremendous impact on every student.

In addition, as part of the school's careers programme and its Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) curriculum, students in Key Stages 4 and 5 undertake a week of work experience. This personal development gives children a better understanding of the demands of the real world.

Grades alone are not enough to secure a place at a top university, which is why the school's rich enrichment programme is an integral part of every student's experience.

Service learning: respecting others, being community-minded and contributing to the development of others are essential components of an Alice Smith education.

The annual Charity Day at the Primary Campus showcases the wonderful, charitable spirit of the school community through an impressive array of stalls and activities. Through these events, students demonstrate their creativity, collaboration and innovation.

At the Secondary Campus, the annual Secondary Trips Week is designed to ensure that service work is meaningful and sustainable, raising the community's social conscience. Students can choose from a wide range of settings that help them develop life skills such as collaboration, service and interpersonal communication, while building an interconnected community through an appreciation and understanding of different cultures and environments.

World of Work: the school invests heavily in careers development and planning. In the third term of Year 10, every student takes the Morrisby Test, the results of which help children identify areas of potential interest. In Year 11, every student takes part in an in-depth one-to-one careers interview, which helps inform their A-Level choices and the types of career they may wish to pursue.

The WOW programme places students in a week of work, developing business skills, attitudes and a sense of responsibility, and raising their awareness of organisations and careers. This valuable experience informs students' choices and attitudes towards higher education and their future careers.

Primary Campus clubs and activities: as part of the school day, club activities offer the chance to work alongside like-minded students and specialist teachers.

Each term, school staff provide a list of the wide range of clubs on offer. All clubs are matched to appropriate age groups. In addition, team sports clubs for older students take place after 3.15pm, and club options are also available on Saturdays.

Secondary Campus clubs and activities: the wide variety of clubs and activities at the Secondary Campus offers children fun, engaging and tailored pursuits. Students have the opportunity to take part in team and individual sports, community and service projects such as illustration and creative collaborations, and an ongoing partnership with the UNHCR, through which students provide educational support to those in need.

Children also have the chance to learn entirely new skills, such as chess, photography and robotics.

KLASS Torpedoes Swim Team: open to students from Year 2 upwards, the team offers opportunities to develop and train. The school has an experienced coaching team that supports and nurtures its swimmers with high-quality training.

Careers and future planning: Year 10 students take the Morrisby careers interest assessment; Year 11 students receive one-to-one careers guidance and a week-long work experience placement (the WOW programme); and every year the school hosts the Future Scope project showcase for Years 9-13.

As a not-for-profit school, and to strengthen its commitment to the local community, the school offers the following scholarship programmes to support students in achieving outstanding results and gaining entry to the world's best universities.

KLASS Scholarship: a full scholarship for local Malaysian students with outstanding SPM results.

Star Scholarship: covers 50% of tuition fees and is awarded to students who excel in academics, the arts or sport. School bus

Operated by a third-party provider, the service covers Kuala Lumpur and the main surrounding residential areas, with GPS tracking and monitoring systems, and offers flexible one-way or return options.
