Straits International School Rawang

Straits International School Rawang is the second Straits International School in Malaysia, the first being at Penang and called Straits International School Penang (SIS). The school offers the Cambridge International Curriculum to students of primary, middle school and secondary levels.

The school’s motto of “Non Mihi, Non Tibi, Sed Nobis” which is Latin for “Not For Me, Not For You, But For Us” and reflects the mission of SIS education, which is to develop in all their students a sense of community spirit that empowers them to become compassionate and well balanced citizens. As such, a commitment to the community and the performance of service is the cornerstone of an education at SIS.

Community work exists in many ways at the school and takes form in various activities. Through ‘hands on’ service learning, the student body develops a sense of self, improves their cultural understanding and helps to create a better, healthier school environment for all who walk through its gates.
