Principal's Message

Welcome to Imperial International School, Ipoh.

At Imperial, we are committed to nurturing well-rounded, confident, and globally minded individuals. Our school community is built on strong values, academic excellence, and a culture of care — where every child is supported to achieve their full potential.

Our Key Values

Celebrating Diversity

We recognise and value our students who are from diverse cultural, linguistic and religious backgrounds and have varying academic abilities, interests and needs. Our teachers are here to support students in and beyond the classroom. 

Empowering Classrooms with Student-Led Learning

We accelerate learning by empowering students through choice, voice and action. By moving away from traditional lecture-style learning, students have the opportunity to learn as a community rather than as a classroom in an institution. 

Integrity and Respect

We value one another as unique and special individuals. We encourage our students to ‘look out’ for their peers, filling them with conscientiousness, creating helpful and generous characters.

Global Citizenship

The capacity to develop a deeper awareness for various cultural views is an essential component of global citizenship.  We want our students to have a sense of responsibility for local, national and world communities.

Learning and Achievement

We value each student’s achievement, creativity and personal excellence. We gear all students towards experiencing success through a complete education.

In addition to supporting pupils, teachers can learn alongside their pupils as they grow in a nurturing, creative environment.
