At Sri Garden, we provide a balanced and holistic educational experience that focuses on Academic Excellence, Character Building and Physical Health & Development for our students. Our school programme engages the students through the Six Dimensions (Social, Cultural, Economics, Political, Technology and Learning) in the application of their knowledge and skills.
We offer a solid foundation in the three main languages – English, Malay and Mandarin – in the delivery of our curriculum. Students are able to benchmark their English proficiency levels against international standards through ESOL (English Speakers for Other Languages) examinations by University of Cambridge. For Mandarin, students across all year groups can choose to learn it starting from basic communication all the way to sitting for the Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK) examinations, which is an internationally recognised Mandarin programme developed by the Beijing Language and Cultural University.
The academic staff at Sri Garden are hand picked from diverse backgrounds and rigorously trained in various international level teaching programmes to ensure they deliver the best educational experience for our students.
Our facilities and resources are constantly upgraded to meet changing needs and expectations.
