Straits International School (Early Years), Penang

Our dazzling kindergarten, Star Kids, develops your child’s curiosity about the world around them, while establishing their academic and social skills under the care of our specialist teachers.

Our experienced teaching team follows the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum (EYFS), which is part of the English National Curriculum. The EYFS is designed to tap into children’s natural curiosity and uses play-based approaches to help our youngest stars grow into resilient, capable, confident and self-assured individuals. 

Classes are taught in English and there’s an emphasis on language with Cambridge English for Young Learners, Bahasa Melayu and Mandarin so that they become confident multi-lingual speakers. There is also compulsary weekly swimming lessons during PE-- crowd's favourite part of the week! 

We understand that every child is unique and can become a strong and independent learner. That is why our caring and dedicated teachers carefully observe each child to ensure they are engaged in class and are ready to respond to their individual needs. We also have strong partnerships between teachers and parents so that we can establish the best way to support your child’s growth.
