A quality education is essential for children, sharing a direct correlation to a community and country’s social, health, economic and political standing.
Accordingly, well-reputed schools are much sought after, with some parents going as far as shifting to homes near these institutions to ease their children’s access to the schools.
Similarly, The International Schools @ ParkCity (ISP) in our master-planned townships of Desa ParkCity Kuala Lumpur and ParkCity Hanoi have attracted students and families, further enriching our vibrant communities.
Aside from providing top-quality learning, ISP is host to a global student registry, introducing students and their families to multiple cultural experiences, whilst fostering diversity and inclusion through school activities and community engagement.
“Schools are more than just educational institutions; they are the heartbeats of thriving communities. Having a world-class international school within a township yields multifaceted benefits that extend beyond the mere provision of education,” says director of education at The International School @ ParkCity Kuala Lumpur (ISP KL) Andrew Dalton.
“At ISP KL, we recognise the profound impact our presence has on the Desa ParkCity township and its residents. Beyond imparting knowledge, we strive to cultivate a sense of belonging, ignite curiosity and inspire lifelong learning. Together with our community, we are shaping the future, one student at a time,” he states.
Take a look at some of the ways ISP have helped to foster a collective sense of pride whilst supporting the development of successful and dynamic communities in our townships.
As foundational pillars of community development and prosperity
Parents seeking a well-rounded environment where their children can grow and thrive are attracted to coveted quality schools. ISP’s sterling reputation enhances the overall appeal of the townships as desirable places to live, work, play and invest in. In turn, increased enrolment in the schools and the subsequent population growth within the townships have drawn a host of businesses, thus boosting the vitality of the local economies. This is a testament to how quality educational facilities support the cultivation of sustainable communities for generations to come.
As a catalyst for fostering community cohesion and solidarity
ISP embrace and actively engage in numerous community initiatives, extracurricular activities and collaborative events that bring families, educators and local businesses together. By nurturing and prioritising holistic development and fostering meaningful connections, ISP contribute significantly to the social fabric and vibrancy of the entire community, building communal cohesion and trust.
As a resource for parents to be active contributors to the school and community
With the location of the schools close to their homes, it allows parents easier access to participate in their children’s education and to contribute as school volunteers and leaders.
As a platform to encourage a green and healthy lifestyle
Through diverse engagement activities, the schools not only encourage active participation but also serve as platforms for promoting healthy, sustainable and eco-friendly practices.
As a facilitator towards a safe and family-friendly environment
By promoting a culture of vigilance and cooperation, the schools enhance public safety within the communities.
In truth, it is indisputable that ISP are an important component of our townships, projecting a strong sense of belonging within our communities, and advancing numerous value-added perks for our townships.
