Testimonials

Amazing school for the 21st century. When I enrolled my son in 2019, he was issued with an iPad (REAL is an Apple collaboration school). Back then, the iPad only supplemented the face-to-face lessons and schoolwork.

Warren Wong, Parent

I’m glad my parents enrolled me in REAL Schools; I got to meet amazing friends and great people. I doubt I’ll have trouble getting into a university or finding a job. I’m confident I've made the right choice and that REAL Schools has taught me the necessary skills to prepare me for the future.

Ruth Tang Ru, REAL International School alumni

“Students gain valuable experiences that cannot be learnt from textbooks”

Every student is able to receive more individual attention and support because of the small class sizes. Teachers come up with interesting teaching methods for students to understand a particular topic well. Meanwhile, the school’s student ambassador teams provide opportunities for students to increase their confidence in preparation for the workforce. Hence, students at R.E.A.L Schools do not only improve their academic performance, but also gain valuable experiences that cannot be learnt from textbooks.

Lee Yen Xing, REAL Schools, Johor Bahru Campus

The teachers had been very patient with me and they had always guided and helped me when I was in need. They had taught me everything step by step, while being tolerant and kind to me.

Ashley Chia ZhiXuan, REAL Schools, Johor Bahru Campus

REAL Schools has been a great place for me to learn, be matured and make new friends over the past 6 years. In this very school, I changed my grades from the worst to the best and gained a ton of exposures from the opportunities my teachers had given to me.

Goh Ming Chuen, Ian, REAL Schools, Johor Bahru Campus

My two sons, since coming to this school in September 2019, not only are they more serious about learning and interest development, they are more serious than before, and they will not feel the pressure of learning. Compared with when they were studying in Hong Kong, more relaxed and happy. The school teachers are also very caring for the students, and they are very clear about the students' abilities. They also arrange for other students to help the children during the adaptation period, which makes me feel respected! The school’s environment and facilities also feel very comfortable for students. Overall, I am very satisfied with R.E.A.L International School.

Chan Katie, Parent

“In my opinion, there are many inspiring teachers in my school”

The teachers at R.E.A.L show care towards all the students; whether it is in their studies or personal lives. They are also willing to share their past experiences and are always encouraging and inspiring us to improve and transform into the best version of ourselves.

Foong Wai Keat, REAL Schools, Johor Bahru Campus

Unlike my previous schools, REAL International School Johor Bahru has a bigger compound that is equipped with courts and field for physical activities, and also a vast swimming pool. The teachers here are the backbone of the school. REAL International School is definitely the best school for students like me to expand our knowledge and to have memorable experiences that last a lifetime.

Shawn Heng Ping Shuan, REAL Schools, Johor Bahru Campus

I’ve been a REAL student since primary 2 and recently just graduated. When i first came to Malaysia, i never imagined I would be where I am now. REAL has been a big part of my life and gave me amazing experiences. REAL helped me not only to excel in my studies, but also focus on other important skills such as teamwork and social skills. I also learned karate for CCA, and was able to get a third place in the sparring competition that was held at KL.

Thanks to REAL, I got straight A's for my IGCSE. Now I am studying for A-level and I’m hoping to get into the medical field in the future.

I will always remember REAL as my second home.

Bae Hanbyul, REAL Schools, Johor Bahru Campus

“I learnt to be a good leader, which will be important in my working life”

With each passing day, week, month, and year spent in R.E.A.L, I grew in knowledge, gaining valuable experiences which would be of great use in the future. R.E.A.L Schools’ facilities provided me the opportunity to engage in activities such as swimming, badminton, futsal, and more; with external coaches to train us in extracurricular activities like karate and taekwondo.
