It is a joy to have started our new academic year and embark on a year of learning together. We welcome back our returning families and also extend a very special welcome to the many new families who have joined our community. We hope you have had a smooth transition and look forward to getting to know you.
We have a busy school year ahead of us and as we start the new year, I wanted to reiterate how much value we place on the partnership between school and parents. A strong partnership provides the strong foundation needed to support your children and achieve our Mission and Vision. It is also an essential component of our culture of care and empathy. As the semester gets underway we will be providing plenty of opportunities to connect, share ideas, and learn in partnership as we work together to support your child’s learning journey.
This year we will also be continuing our learning journey together as a school as we start our re-accreditation process with top accreditation agencies, the Council of International Schools (CIS), and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) in the U.S. We will also be finalizing our 2021-2024 Strategic Plan and progressing our vision for diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ). Along with our re-accreditation, academic, and well-being programs, DEIJ is something we will all be hearing and learning more about. At ISKL we are on the learning journey together and we look forward to sharing this experience with you.
Wherever you are reading this in the world, whether in Malaysia or overseas, I wish everyone a great year of learning, growth, and positivity. It is good to be back!
In partnership,
Rami Madani
Head of School
