Preparing Confident, Ethical, Future‑Ready Learners

At IISO Junior High School, we provide a comprehensive education that blends academic excellence, Islamic values, emotional intelligence, and bilingual proficiency, building on the foundation established in Primary.

Our program follows the Cambridge Lower Secondary curriculum, preparing students for the IGCSE pathway in Grades 9–10 and equipping them with the skills needed for high school and beyond.

We nurture students intellectually, spiritually, socially, and emotionally — helping them grow into responsible, confident young Muslims ready to contribute positively to society.
