What lies within SIS…
A multifaceted invested value, in this hidden gem. Our expectations were founded.
Our journey began with SIS back in 2016.
Merissa, our eldest encapsulated the SIS values and principles that go beyond just academics, the 21st-century life, and soft skills that are much needed to stay abreast and having the edge in any given challenging setting. It was onerous for her, having a non-forthcoming personality, yet she gradually overcame with the formidable structure yet cohesive community that SIS offers. That is a goal achiever, scarce to come by in any institution. Over the years, Merissa has blossomed under the tutelage of her educators with due attention and support in SIS – being accoladed with not only on the academics front, as well as co-curricular.
To date, proud achievements of helming positions in Interact Club, Buddy-Up, High School Student Council, Library Committee, etc. to being the main cast of the SIS in-house musical productions. Opportune timing and self-driven instincts inculcated, gave rise to social interactions and involvements, propelling the boost to the well-rounded persona that she has become.
Our decision henceforth was apparent! The pinnacle culmination of skills and values is where SIS students draw their strengths from, giving us more conviction to also enroll our youngest, Myra.
Myra yet thrives even better here, with her continuous strengths from primary years. Just graduated from Middle School Grade 8, her appointment as the Middle School Student Council and achievements in academics, as well as main cast in the in-house musical productions, present a great head start to many opportunities offered in SIS. Her peak in SIS is foreseeable boundless. And we, curiously look forward to it.
In a nutshell, SIS has empowered both our daughters holistically, by enlivening their abilities to greater heights, exploring with an elevated degree of creativity and espousing their independence with the guidance of a host of endearing educators. As parents, it is most gratifying that the hand-holding years are gone past, cliché, no longer viable and almost non-existent in SIS, over time. Both are currently on the honor roll, academic scholarship; and recipients of the SIS Middle School Science Fair top and subjects awards.
The unique Ontario Curriculum and its pedagogy of teaching, truly captivate and pique our girls’ desire to learn and advance further. A firm believer that Sunway marks itself as an international education hub and constantly pledging to excellence and giving back in education, it presents many avenues serving a continuity to post high school education is a major plus factor for our unwavering decision to school at SIS.
SIS has done us proud with how we evolve as a family and community. As parents, we decided to reciprocate as being part of the Parent Council this year.
Our utmost gratitude to the entire SIS community encompassing the Principal, Mr Kondro, Mr Owen, the teaching, administrative, and supporting staff for making our experience beyond just pleasant. Indeed for us, an enriching one.
A hidden gem most would come to discover.
