This initiative reflects his desire to give back to the community by providing accessible international education in the region. IISS is the sixth institution under the Edumaax Group, which also includes St. John’s International School in Kuala Lumpur and Imperium International College.
The school community at IISS is designed around inclusivity and student development. The campus provides dedicated spaces for extracurricular clubs such as sports, nature club, chess, yoga, music, and art. Events and embedded programs are supported by structured schedules and designated club time.
