With its rich history and population of almost 54 million,ย Myanmar (also known as Burma) is renowned for its warm, friendly and hard working population.ย The countryside consists of beautiful mountains, scenic plains and lovely islands, beaches, and is one of ASEANโs popular tourist destinations. Yangon, formerly known as Rangoon, is the largest city in Myanmar and the busiest commercial centre that is strategically located attracting numerous investors and foreign investment.
SIS Myanmar is theย SIS Group of Schoolsโ next international campus. Located in Yangon, in a partnership withย SLG Education, a member of SLG Holdings, SIS Myanmar aims to prepare local and international students for the 21st century. The SIS Group of Schools is the regionโs most renowned K-12 School group with international and private schools in multiple countries. It is in a strategic partnership with the International Finance Corporation (World Bank) to bring high-end, quality schools at affordable fees to countries across the world.
The SIS Group of Schools is fast expanding into Indonesia, Myanmar, India, Korea and soon to China, Kazakhstan and Africa. The SIS Group of Schools is a network of schools. Networks give greater access to resources and promote creative ideas among schools. Students from SIS Myanmar will work on projects with their peers in other schools within the SIS Group of Schools. Teachers will also collaborate with their fellow educators from across the network.
This effective eco-system of collaboration was recognized and acknowledged by the Financial Times (FT) and the IFC, International Finance Corporation (World Bank) when SIS became the only K-12 school in the world to be awarded the global 2019 FT-IFC Transformational Business Award – Education in London.
Our schools are especially designed to stimulate creativity, enhance concentration and allow students and teachers to work in teams as well as collaborate to allow SIS Programs to achieve their maximum impact.
The SIS Group of Schools adoptsย 3 world-renowned curricula;ย the Singapore curriculum in the pre-school as well as the primary levels. The Singapore system is then complemented by the Cambridge curriculum at the secondary school levels. For our high schools (Junior College) we adopt the Cambridge A-levels and/or the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IBDP).
Embedded in the curriculum is our PACE initiative which looks to develop 21st century skills; Perseverance, Analytical thinking, Collaboration / Communication and Entrepreneurism.
All SIS teachers are highly qualified and experienced. They are part of the diversity of cultures within the school, that we embrace. They are passionate about what they teach and have excellent subject knowledge.
For students who are still working towards the expectations of the subject, SIS has an Academic Support Program, where the subject teacher will give individual support and attention to the student outside of curriculum time. This allows them personalized attention.
Parents will always remain the main influence in a childโs learning experience and education. In SIS Schools, we encourage parents to provide feedback to us on our learnerโs experiences and emotions in their learning journeys at home. We then work with parents to enhance and reinforce their learning to ensure our children are always having fun learning both in school and at home.

Characteristics
The curriculum aims to develop the whole child, not just academic abilities. The focus is on equipping children with the necessary social skills and academic knowledge so that learning is engaging and meaningful and can be related to real life experiences. Teachers use student-centred approaches when planning lessons showing awareness of prior learning and assess pupilsโ progress formally and informally. Inter-disciplinary projects feature in the curriculum and allow students to explore a range of questions using a cross-curricular approach.
Subjects
The Primary Curriculum is subject based and the core subjects taught are English, Mathematics, Science and Chinese. In Lower Primary these subjects are taught by Form Teachers and in Upper Primary more subjects are taught by specialist teachers. Burmese Language is also an important part of the curriculum as well as Information and Communication Technology, Social Studies, Physical Education, Health Education, Arts and Crafts, Music, PPKN and Religion.
Outcomes
On completing the primary stage of education, we expect the students to understand and respond to a range of situations confidently and to have an awareness of the importance of respecting people from a range of cultures and countries. Students should understand the important of processes and systems and be able to apply their knowledge to a range of subjects, taking pride in their work and demonstrating that they are independent and confident learners. Students should be aware of the importance of their own nationality whilst thinking globally about a range of issues and their impact on the world. Students will know how to communicate effectively and work as a team and how to maintain the โfamily ethosโ of SIS Myanmar.

General characteristics of the SIS Secondary Curriculum
The Secondary programme builds on the foundation of the early primary years. It also looks to bringing out each studentโs individual interest and liking for the various subject matters.

SIS offers a comprehensive Community Service Programme where the students engage in deliberating, planning, implementing, and reflecting on their Community Service, thereby sustaining high quality service learning.
