St. Christopher's International School

Founded in 1963, St. Christopher's International School (SCIS) is one of the oldest and most respected international schools in Penang. Originally established to serve the expatriate community, it has grown into a vibrant, multi-cultural institution that maintains a 'small school' feel despite its growth. The school focuses on providing a balanced education that encourages students to become life-long learners and global citizens within a supportive community environment.

The curriculum is based on the National Curriculum of England, adapted for an international context, leading to the IGCSE examinations in Key Stage 4. It is widely recognized for its strong pastoral care, dedicated teaching staff, and high level of parental involvement. The school's central location in George Town makes it a popular choice for families living in the city and surrounding suburbs.
