Though my time at IIS was short, it shaped my motivation, career path, and lifelong friendships. The dedicated teachers played a huge role, especially Mrs. Hijjah, whose Biology lessons and advice—"No Pressure, No Diamond!"—stayed with me. Being surrounded by a diverse group of friends broadened my perspective and helped me become a global citizen. This experience gave me the confidence to explore new opportunities in the UK and France, but the camaraderie I built at IIS remains unmatched.

Studying at IISM from 2007 to 2016 was a journey that helped me grow academically and personally. The blend of international curriculum and Islamic values shaped me into a better person, offering a unique global environment with students and teachers from all over the world. At IISM, learning wasn’t just about books—we were actively involved in co-curricular activities. Two of my most unforgettable moments were International Day, which immersed us in different cultures, and Sports Day, where we learned teamwork and sportsmanship. I truly miss my days at IISM and strongly believe it will soon achieve its vision of becoming the leading International Islamic School in Southeast Asia by 2025.

Eight years have passed, but my IIS journey feels like yesterday. I walked into 8 Al-Farabi in my mismatched outfit, met curious classmates, and unknowingly stepped into some of the most unforgettable years of my life. Academics were competitive yet supportive, with teachers who were more than just educators—they were mentors for life. They didn’t just teach from books; they shared life lessons, personal experiences, and guidance beyond the classroom. With small class sizes, we had one-on-one attention, making learning even more meaningful. But what truly made IIS special were the friendships—bonds that still hold strong today. Looking back, IIS shaped me not just as a student, but as a person, leaving me forever grateful for the family I found there.

IISM was more than just a school—it became my second home. From a shy, introverted child, I grew into a confident individual, thanks to the constant support of teachers who not only guided my education but also encouraged me in sports, social activities, and competitions. With students from 47 different countries, IISM provided a multicultural environment where we learned about different cultures, eliminated barriers like racism and class privilege, and built lifelong friendships. The teachers were the foundation of this supportive environment, pushing us to excel in academics, sports, and life itself. The experiences and memories I made at IISM will stay with me forever.

At IISM, teachers went beyond just teaching—they were always supportive, patient, and willing to give extra time whenever we needed help. Their balance of discipline and fun made learning enjoyable, and I never hesitated to ask for guidance. More than academics, IISM was a wholesome experience. From sports and extracurricular activities to bonding with classmates and teachers, every moment shaped me. Whether it was staying back for extra tuition, competing in sports, or even playing against our teachers, the memories remain unforgettable. Looking back, IISM prepared me for challenges, fostered growth, and made high school an experience to cherish forever.

IISM gave me the chance to explore, grow, and thrive. I joined the debate team with no experience, but with my team’s support, we competed nationally and placed in the top 30. This boosted my public speaking skills, which later helped me in university and my career. Beyond academics, sporting events brought the whole school together in friendly competition and teamwork. Even when challenges came, IISM provided a strong support system—from study groups to dedicated teachers who were always there to help. Looking back, IISM shaped me into who I am today by giving me the confidence and opportunities to learn, compete, and succeed. Thank you IISM!

IIS had a profound impact on my life. It was where I developed my English skills immensely with the help of dedicated teachers and wonderful friends. Beyond academics, IIS gave me invaluable life lessons, insight, and a global perspective through diverse friendships. I cherish the lifelong connections I made and hope future students gain as much knowledge and joy from IIS as I did. Wishing them the very best in their journey ahead!

I never realized how much IIS has impacted my life until I stepped into the real world." Even after a decade, I still visit to reminisce about the laughter-filled days. I was given a safe space to feel confident to be myself in IIS. Growing up, I moved a lot and never truly fit in—until IIS. Here, no one was ever the odd one out. IIS has also opened a lot of opportunities for everyone. With supportive teachers and small classes, I was able to excel academically and be involved in everything. I am grateful for the three years I spent in IIS." To all current students—make the most of your time here!

IISM was more than a school—it was an eye-opener that changed the way I see education and the world. Learning wasn’t limited to textbooks; we were encouraged to think beyond the classroom, ask questions, and find solutions on our own. The school’s diverse environment exposed me to different cultures, shaping how I communicate and work with others. Looking back, I realize that the biggest lesson IISM taught me is that real learning happens when we open our minds, embrace challenges, and grow together.
