Structured homework starts at Year One and the amount given varies from class to class, but in all cases is designed not to overburden the students. The emphasis is on quality rather than quantity. Typically, a student may receive two to three hours of homework a week but it is difficult to say exactly as the more academically inclined students are able to complete their work quickly whilst slower students will take a longer time. This is true for all levels of Primary School and also for Secondary School. Additionally, students studying for the public examinations are given more work in the lead up to the exams and study camps are organized by the teachers over the holidays. Attendance is voluntary.

Every year Sri KL has ranked among the top ten schools in Selangor and has often made it to the top ten for results in the country. However, after the introduction of the open certificate for SPM, no statistics are available to gauge our ranking for PMR and SPM results. Nevertheless, as an indicator, awards for academic achievement in the IGCSE and SPM examinations continue to rise each year. Academic results are important but are not the only way to assess a student’s performance. We’re also proud of the fact that many of our students go on to receive recognition for non-academic pursuits such as music, art, drama and excellence in sports. Creating well-rounded students with confident and enquiring minds is in fact far more important than achieving academic success at this early stage of the students’ lives. The perception of parents is also changing slowly to recognize this and, hopefully, we achieve a good balance between the aspirations of more traditional parents and the more progressive ideas permeating education today.

Sri KL students come from diverse backgrounds and communities. 95% of our children are Malaysians of which 70% are ethnically Chinese with the majority coming from English speaking families. Approximately 16% of our students are Malays and 11% Indians with the remaining 3% coming from other communities. The majority of our overseas students come from Japan, Indonesia and Singapore but the school is proud to say that we have student representation from all over the world. Sri Kuala Lumpur is a non-denominational school and welcomes children of all races and religions. Muslim students are taught Islamic studies from Primary to Secondary school whilst Moral studies are compulsory for non-Muslims. The emphasis at Sri KL is on strengthening the bonds between students and emphasizing their similarities regardless of background, race or religion to produce children who have a deep sense of national pride and a balanced world view.

We take a non-elitist approach to education where all students are given the same opportunities and are subject to the same framework of discipline and respect for their peers. Since January 2010, the school has operated as a not-for-profit foundation. The Board of Governors is also fully independent with no affiliations to any political party, organization or society and has only the welfare and development of the school as its focus. To quote the Chairman of the Board of Governors, the school’s philosophy “has always been to provide a well-rounded and complete education for our students, emphasizing strong community values and discipline whilst at the same time encouraging our students to excel academically.”
