A multilingual environment that builds global communicators

Language is at the heart of global understanding. Students engage with English, Bahasa Melayu and Mandarin, starting from kindergarten in Rawang.  In their earliest years, supported by native-speaking teachers and tiered EAL programs. Weekly lessons and additional native language support ensure all learners thrive linguistically and culturally.

Inclusive, diverse, and truly international

With students from over 17 nationalities, Straits Rawang fosters an inclusive and respectful community. Classrooms are rich in diversity, encouraging students to share stories, perspectives, and cultural traditions that prepare them for a globally connected world. 

Beyond the classroom: leadership, service, and creativity

Straits students lead with purpose and heart. Through the Prefect Programme, School Council, Model United Nations, and Friendly Faces, they grow into compassionate, confident leaders. A wide range of extracurriculars supports their passions—from music and debate to robotics, ballet and football.

Future-ready pathways and global exposure

Students prepare for life beyond school early with ISP’s Future Pathways™—personalized university and career guidance, industry talks, and skill-building workshops. Global learning opportunities such as cultural exchanges and international collaborations expand their worldview.

Nurturing wellbeing and safeguarding every learner

Straits Rawang has achieved ISP Safeguarding Mastery status, reflecting its unwavering commitment to student safety. From secure campus access to pastoral care and emotional wellbeing programs, every learner is seen, heard, and supported. 

What does our pastoral support look like?

Our counselling initiatives, led or supported by the school counsellor, promote wellbeing, inclusion and care, helping every student feel empowered, valued and ready to grow.

01
Friendship circles

Students build social-emotional skills in small group settings where they learn to communicate, manage emotions and form healthy relationships. These safe spaces encourage connection, conflict resolution and a sense of belonging.

02
Individual counselling sessions

At our international school in Selangor, students receive one-on-one emotional support tailored to their needs. Through confidential sessions they explore strategies to manage anxiety, stress, self-esteem and more, fostering resilience, self-awareness and early intervention.

03
Mental health & wellbeing talks

Students take part in engaging talks that promote mental health literacy and practical coping tools. These sessions normalise help-seeking, reduce stigma and encourage proactive, open conversations about wellbeing.

04
Parent & student resources

Families stay informed and supported through weekly wellbeing newsletters, school holiday guides and surveys that capture student voice. These tools strengthen home–school collaboration and ensure continuity of care.

05
Friendly Faces

Students lead with kindness as part of the Friendly Faces team, looking out for peers who may be alone. By inviting others to join games or conversations they create a culture of empathy, inclusion and peer-led support.

06
Counselling access: hall pass & walk-ins

Students can access emotional support whenever they need it. Through the use of hall passes in primary school and walk-ins in secondary school, students learn self-regulation and feel empowered to seek help in a safe and age-appropriate manner.

07
Celebrating kindness, culture & community

Students feel seen and valued through schoolwide celebrations like Kindness Week, cultural festivals and themed assemblies. These moments foster empathy, inclusion and joy, strengthening community spirit and mutual respect.

08
Student-led assemblies

Students take the lead by planning and presenting assemblies that reflect their ideas and experiences. This initiative builds confidence, communication skills and ensures all voices are heard in an inclusive school culture.

09
Student spotlight

At SIS Rawang, students are recognised for their unique talents and achievements beyond academics. By celebrating personal milestones, creative pursuits or community work we nurture self-worth and show that every success matters.

10
Wellbeing committee for staff

Staff wellbeing matters too. Our dedicated committee offers regular check-ins, optional mental health screenings and collaborative wellbeing initiatives, ensuring teachers feel supported and creating a healthy school environment for all.

World-class facilities for all-round development 


The school’s modern campus includes bright classrooms, science labs, a dance studio, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, art and music suites, and a 4G football pitch. These inspiring spaces help students grow academically, physically, and creatively.
