Educational Model
Primary School
Sri UCSI School Kuala Lumpur (Primary School) follows the Kurikulum Standard Sekolah Rendah (KSSR) that culminates in the Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) examination by the Malaysian Examination Syndicate in Standard 6. With English as the primary mode of communication, the school enhances the strength of the local curriculum amidst a vibrant, international environment that emphasises the use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) as integral learning and teaching tool to encourage students’ active participation in the entire learning process.

We are committed to educating our children to be active and independent learners in the acquisition of knowledge and skills in an international setting, within a safe and conducive environment.
While academic excellence in public examinations is a vital aspect of the learner’s success, we also conduct ongoing formative assessments to gauge the learner’s progress. Assessment for Learning is an integral part of learning which enables close monitoring of learners’ attainment based on the learning standards. From this, learners become more engaged and independent in their learning. In preparing for learners of the 21st century, we offer a range of subjects at the Primary level.
The subjects offered at the Primary level are:
- Bahasa Melayu

The increased proportion of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) content in the curriculum as well as in the summative assessments has gradually brought about a shift from recalling in learning to critical thinking that will prepare the learners for global competition.
