This stage builds on the foundations established in the Early Years and Key Stage 1, preparing children for the next phase of their education. English is taught daily, with a strong focus on developing speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. Practical, mental, and applied mathematics are fostered through a structured and comprehensive mathematics curriculum.

**Both resources are fully aligned to NGSS standards, and teachers are able to access both to better meet the needs of students.
FCIS students are encouraged to think boldly and share their ideas through programs like Genius Hour, where they research and develop self-chosen projects, and the Junior Journalism team, which hones communication and storytelling skills.

Students build global competence through our World Languages program (Mandarin, Malay, and Spanish for Grades 5+), and our EAL program offers three tiers of support (iEAL, aEAL, and EAL) to ensure that every learner thrives academically and linguistically.
Our hands-on STEM and arts integration has made FCIS a leader in innovative education in Malaysia and beyond, with local and international partnerships that extend learning beyond the classroom.

Students explore the living world through hands-on investigations, connecting big biological ideas to real-life applications. Using models, microscopes, and inquiry-based labs, students learn how organisms function, grow, and interact with their environments.
Key Highlights:
This exciting course invites students to step into the shoes of real forensic investigators. Students learn to blend concepts from Chemistry, Biology, Physics, and Psychology to solve age-appropriate simulated cases.
Key Highlights:
In this hands-on course, students learn to become creative problem solvers and innovators. Using the engineering design cycle (plan, build, test, improve), students work collaboratively to create solutions for real-world problems.
Key Highlights:
This course introduces students to computational thinking, coding logic, and robotics systems through engaging, hands-on programming experiences. Students learn to write code, debug programs, and bring robots to life through movement, sensors, and automation.
Key Highlights:
Students explore the forces and phenomena that shape our physical world. Through engaging experiments and design-based challenges, students learn core physics concepts such as motion, energy, magnetism, and simple machines.
Key Highlights:
This course blends curiosity, teamwork, and hands-on problem solving. Students engage in multi-disciplinary STEM investigations that encourage creative thinking, making, testing, and refining.
Key Highlights:
Students take ownership of their learning as they conduct semester-long research projects driven by their own curiosity. They then take to the stage to present their discoveries and showcase their innovation and independence.
Our collaborations with schools around the world include pen pal exchanges, Peace Crane projects, virtual visits, and in-person cultural exchanges. As future global citizens, we foster cross-cultural understanding and friendship.
Mandarin, Malay, and Spanish (Grades 5+) help students develop communication skills and cultural appreciation for a multilingual world. All World Language courses meet ACTFL World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages.
Students become active conservationists, learning to care for local ecosystems and contribute to community-based science projects.
Through the Teaching for Artistic Behavior (TAB) program, students explore art as choice-based creators, developing personal voice and expression.
Students also participate in music classes that allow them access to several different instruments, choir, music theory, percussion, and private music lessons in piano, voice, violin, drums, and guitar.
Grade 5 and 6 students with a flair for the dramatic may also participate in drama where they learn the basics of acting, improvisation, set design, and stage direction. At the end of the semester, drama students show off their acting skills in a schoolwide production.
Our English as an Additional Language (EAL) Program is dedicated to differentiated instruction, ensuring every child gets the necessary support to thrive.

The student has not yet produced enough completed work to assess understanding, or the student requires significant intervention to complete grade level assignments.

The student is approaching grade level content mastery, but teacher support is required for assignments.

The student consistently meets grade-level expectations, but does not yet demonstrate advanced understanding or cannot yet apply concepts in new contexts.

The student consistently demonstrates advanced understanding of grade-level concepts and is able to apply concepts in new contexts.
Our ECA (Extra-Curricular Activities) program is an integral part of our school community, offering a diverse range of enriching opportunities for students to explore their passions, develop new skills, and broaden their horizon beyond the classroom.
