At MAHANS International School, we offer Early Childhood (ages 3–5), Primary (ages 6–11), and Secondary (ages 12–16) education. Our curriculum combines the timeless wisdom of the Six Arts of Confucianism with the internationally recognised Cambridge Curriculum.

We use a blended curriculum so that our students have more options for their future. The Cambridge programme prepares them for studying in Western countries, while Chinese Studies helps those who want to take exams or continue their education in China. This approach gives students a wider choice when planning their higher education and careers.

No, MAHANS International School is not a religious school. We focus on academic excellence and moral ethics, and welcome students of all cultural and religious backgrounds.

We maintain a balanced approach, with equal emphasis on both Chinese and English. Our bilingual environment ensures that students develop strong skills in both languages.

IGCSE is recognised by many institutions both in Malaysia and around the world, including:

• Private colleges and universities in Malaysia (e.g. Taylor’s, Sunway, HELP, INTI, etc.)

• Universities in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand
• Institutions in Singapore, Hong Kong, and other parts of Asia
