Scientific Skills

REAL Schools places a strong emphasis on Digital Skills because these skills will be in high demand during the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). This is the time when industry, commerce, lifestyle and culture will be underpinned by the Internet and mobile computing.

In the 4IR world, the best jobs will be the ones you create for yourself. The digital environment and the Internet, powered by 5G technology, empower individuals to pursue their ideas and dreams. Entrepreneurship demands different skill sets, needing to both manage the business as well as market products and services.

National boundaries are fading, more people will be global citizens, and are very likely to work in several countries in their career lifetime. As one of Malaysia’s best private schools, REAL Schools seek to prepare our students to be more globally aware, culturally sensitive and adaptable to different environments.

In a Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA) world, where situations are complex and uncertain, our principles, values and morals can be similarly clouded. REAL Schools wants to give students experiences and encounters that will help develop their goodness, compassion, justice, and moral courage.

Language is a vital skill and the more languages a student knows, the greater will be the capacity to learn. Beyond linguistic skills, Communication Skills at REAL Schools also include the ability to get across your ideas, describe your experiences and even express your feelings about something. Students will also learn the importance of listening, understanding and empathy.

Physical exercise is vital to maintaining a high level of physical fitness. REAL Schools is committed to cultivating a healthy, balanced lifestyle in our students. At the same time acquiring survival skills such as first aid and self-defence will enable students to be prepared for any emergency situations.

Design and Innovation are some of the most highly rewarded skills these days. In a world where copies abound, the ability to stand out from the crowd, to think outside the box and to see challenges in fresh ways will be highly sought after.

Confidence to speak and perform, skills in expression and communication — these will be vital qualities for students to succeed in the real world where creating a good impression will make a person stand out and open doors for opportunities.

Educationists describe the real world as Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA) and this poses real challenges to students who will be building a life in that VUCA world. In response, REAL Schools offer a comprehensive care system that provides mental and emotional support services to students, and have a comprehensive programme of talks and workshops to help them develop the resilience and self-coping skills they need to grow into healthy, well-rounded and independent young adults.
