Testimonials

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

During MCO, we are grateful my child continues to learn through online classes. Teachers have been putting in a lot of effort and patience to teach and making sure that she understands the lesson. She is looking forward to school reopens and gets to enjoy all her favourite classes/ activities again like Real Time, swimming and Art and Craft.

Dylis Wong, Parent

I’ve been studying in REAL Schools since I was 13 years old, I started playing badminton when I was 12. The school has hired a professional coach for our badminton class so we can conduct a professional training at school. We have learned a lot from the professional coach because he was a player who represented Malaysia before.

Kew Kuan Yao, REAL Schools, Johor Bahru Campus

We are very happy and satisfied with the school's prompt reaction and measures taken to allow the children to continue school lessons without much interruption throughout this MCO period. All teachers and staff put in great effort to ensure the lessons are carried out smoothly, and quick reminders were sent if the kid is “absent” in class!

Phang Moylin, Parent

I like the atmosphere where I can learn while having fun. My biggest improvement is I can communicate with others now in English. Although it may not be so fluent, I have more confidence to speak out compared to when I was in Form 1. Result Enhancing through Active Learning-R.E.A.L. This is what this school stands for and this is a place I call my second home. I am proud to be a student here.

“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.

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

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

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

After spending 5 years in REAL School, I have acquired many skills beneficial to my future, REAL has nurtured and prepared me for my future, helping me build a strong foundation in life. Furthermore, REAL's practice of five Cs, has made me better person overall. The active learning has also allowed me to engage in many activities, most of which helps students acquire skills such as leadership, communication and critical thinking. The teachers REAL has assigned for us, were wonderful. They were caring and would provide us with assistance even during their break time. They would observe every student in the class, assist and provide encouragement for those falling behind. I am thankful to REAL for providing me with the opportunity to study here and all the teachers who had helped me achieved what I have today.
