NEGERI SEMBILAN, MALAYSIA��-�Media OutReach�-�9 October 2018 - Malaysia Shanghai International
School (MSIS), offered a glimpse of its innovative programme and top-notch
facilities to potential parents at its inaugural Open House. The school opens
its doors in January 2019. This premier bilingual boarding school is already
making waves, particularly as it is the only one in the world to supplement the
Cambridge IGCSE with the Chinese International Examination Curriculum (CIE).

�

The impressive 141,640 sqm campus, is situated within the
tranquil surroundings of the Enstek Technology Park and is strategically
located just 10 minutes away from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and
Xiemen University's Malaysian Campus, with essential living amenities, such as
hospitals, malls, and others close by.

"We strive to provide a quality learning experience for all
of our students via the various curricular and extracurricular opportunities.
At MSIS, our focus as educators is to prepare students for college and careers
by working relentlessly to aid them in developing essential skills and
behaviours in a safe and supportive environment," said Dr. Bryan Tin, Executive
Principal of Malaysia Shanghai International School (MSIS).

The academic set-up at MSIS, offers students with multiple
tracks to suit their respective future ambitions. Besides the simultaneous
undertaking of the UK-based Cambridge International General Certificate of
Secondary Education (IGCSE) and China International Examination (CIE), the
school also offers programs such as the Ontario Secondary School Diploma for
those looking at tertiary education in the USA, Canada and other Commonwealth
countries. On top of that, students who are weighing between studying in the
USA or Malaysia can opt for the University Foundation Course, a program that is
supported by Taylor's University. Lastly, for those looking at Chinese
universities, can go with the China International Examination (CIE).

Dr. Bryan added, "We believe that MSIS is a place for
students to learn, grow, and explore. With that in mind, both Cempaka Schools
and the Shanghai Rainbow Tree Education Group, have drawn from their rich
pedigree in education, to create an unmatched experience that goes beyond
academic achievement."

At MSIS, students are able to experience a breadth of
co-curricular activities, ranging from swimming, basketball, soccer, badminton
to the fine arts, music and dance. It houses the widest spread of sports
facilities among all international schools in Malaysia, which include a� theatre and performing centre, an Olympic
size swimming pool, and one of the biggest rock and bouldering walls in the
country, among many others.

�

MSIS will benefit both Malaysian and foreign students,
particularly from the Chinese community. With the advent of China's One-belt,
One Road initiative, and Malaysia's growing expat community, the school aims to
house a diverse and multi-national student body which will further enhance the
learning experience.

�

The application window is open from the 1st of
July 2018 till December 2018, and MSIS's admissions team is keeping a close eye
on the overall quality of its student body. Its stringent application process
includes, submission of an online application, assessments and interviews,
ending with an application review and decision notification.

School (MSIS) is accredited by Malaysia's Ministry of Education (MOE), the
school is awaiting approval on its name from MOE.�
