About Us | Orbix International School

A MESSAGE FROM

CHAIRMAN, BOARD OF GOVERNORS

The Orbix group is founded by a team of passionate educators with one simple goal - to make quality education affordable to everyone.

Here at Orbix, we combine the best of international education from the West with the academic rigour and structure from the East. In our increasingly interconnected world, our educational programme helps our students develop a globalised worldview while embracing Asian customs and values.

Our responsibility is to equip our students with skills to thrive in the future where learning does not stop. Orbix does not only focus on academic achievements, but also on skills developed through activities outside the classroom, in sports, the arts and service. Above all, we place great emphasis on value education as our goal is to create educated, responsible and respectful citizens.

We are committed to providing high-quality, holistic yet affordable education for students in Malaysia and beyond. We look forward to having your family join our community in this exciting journey ahead.
