OUR PARENTS
Parents play a big role in shaping the SIS Community. We believe that all parents want the best for their children, and we strive to provide the best for our students. As a school, we consistently communicate and collaborate with parents to continuously make the school a better place for all SIS students to achieve success.
We value parent engagement
Here at SIS, we value parent engagement in an array of areas:
Student Academic Performance
Student Personal Development
School Feedback & Improvement
Parents have the opportunity of playing an active role in students' education and participate in events such as Meet the Teachers Nights, Cuppa Coffee Mornings with the Principal, and Parent-Teacher Interviews.
SIS Parent Council
The SIS Parent Council represents the parent body at SIS.
SIS Parent Council Executives lead and provide support to the parent community while linking parents and the school administration.
The SIS Parent Council is a group of motivated and enthusiastic parent volunteers who represents the parent body at SIS. Parents are essential in shaping the SIS community. Through ongoing communication and collaboration, we work together to create a nurturing environment where all SIS students can thrive. Parents also have the opportunity to actively engage in their children's education by participating in events such as Spring Into Reading Sessions, Sports Day Volunteers, Teacher Appreciation Day, Charity Run, and Multicultural Day.
With the support of our dedicated Parent Executive team, we are committed to enhancing parent- teacher partnerships, introducing meaningful initiatives, and creating an engaged and positive school culture. Through open communication and active participation, we can work together to make SIS an even more enriching place for our children to learn, grow, and thrive.
The SIS Parent Council is led by the Parent Council Executive Team (6 elected parent volunteers) working in close collaboration with the School Principal, Student Councils, and school staff representatives (academic and non-academic).
We continue to provide support to each other within our community through our community parent chat group. To be included in this chat group, please liaise with SIS Admin staff.

We chose SIS Iskandar for its IB programme, which fosters problem solving, global awareness, and personal growth. The school’s small environment and international community support our children’s development, encouraging critical thinking, resilience, and a balanced approach to academics and wellbeing.

“Helps children thrive holistically”
We moved to Johor Bahru in 2018 and found SIS Iskandar in 2022, where the IB curriculum has been perfect for our children. The school’s focus on open communication, student involvement, and holistic development has helped them thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. SIS aligns with our values, making it the ideal choice for our family.

“Confident, independent, and motivated”
We chose SIS Iskandar for its IB curriculum, supportive environment, and dedicated teachers. Our daughters have become more confident, independent, and motivated, excelling academically while developing critical thinking, leadership, inquiry skills, and time management. The smooth transition and strong school-community support made the experience even better.
