The History of Fairview in Johor Bahru
Fairview International School Johor began on the 14th of January 2008 with around 25 students, 5 teachers and 1 staff member. The levels offered at that time were Reception, Year 1, Year 2, Year 5 and Year 10 classes. Being a purely CIE centre then, Fairview Johor followed the Cambridge International curriculum and prepared its students for the International General Certificate for Secondary Education (IGCSE) and General Certificate of Education (GCE) 'O' Level examinations at the end of Year 11.
Situated in the secure confines of the Johor Land Complex at the suburban neighbourhood of Bandar Dato' Onn, sorrounded by a sea of greenery, Fairview Johor has become a close-knit community school readily accessible via the North-South Highway and strategically located in the midst of several large townships. The student population of just 25 has multiplied and currently stands at just over 350 students. Our small student population has allowed for students and teachers to forge close relationships with one another in their individual journeys of discovery.
Early in 2010, Fairview Johor expressed interest in the International Baccalaureate programmes and was given its candidacy status in August 2010 by the International Baccalaureate Organisation(IBO) for both the Primary and the Middle Years Programmes. During this period, Fairview Johor offered all of the levels from Creche' to Grade 11 comprising the Early Years, Primary and Middle Years Programme.
In July 2012, Fairview Johor has been authorised to offer the Middle Years Programme (MYP) of the IB and in April 2013, authorisation to offer the Primary Years Programme (PYP) was given. Being the first IB World School in the south of Malaysia, Fairview Johor is firmly committed to quality international education.
For almost seven years Fairview International School Johor has remained in the confines of the Johor Land Mutiara Sports Complex. Over the past years we have grown and ballooned to over 350 students ranging from Early Years to the Middle Years Programme, and we have been bursting at the seams! It was thus a long awaited shift to our new purpose-built campus on the 27th of October, the week after the MYP expeditions. Excited students of Grade 5 to 11 and teachers alike started the day with oohs and ahhs at every room and available facility.
No longer are we gasping for space but desperate for ideas on how to use all the available space efficiently and effectively. Students have ample space for group activities both inside and outside the classroom. On an average day, one might see dance rehearsals taking place in the dedicated dance room while team members from another group is seen tuning up their aesthetic movements along the corridor; 10 feet away would be the Science room and students would be discussing how best to address the stated problem for their assessments.
Students and teachers love it here as we've got ourselves a new home! We also have learnt to show care and value the new learning environment that has been provided for us!
