St. Joseph's Institution International School Malaysia (Tropicana PJ Campus)

St. Joseph’s Institution International School Malaysia (Tropicana PJ Campus) is a brother school of the esteemed St. Joseph’s Institution and St. Joseph’s Institution International School in Singapore. Being the first SJII in Malaysia, the school is a continuation of St. John Baptist De La Salle’s 300-year-old education mission and focuses on producing well-rounded learners at all levels with its values-centred educational approach that is based on the very best of the globally-recognized Lasallian education ethos. With this backbone, SJIIM builds on its brother schools’ extensive history of educational excellence and initiates collaborative learning platforms to encourage sharing of knowledge and resources between the institutions.

SJIIM goes by the tagline of ‘Enter to Learn, Leave to Serve’ and welcomes students of all faiths to be part of its community. From its inception, the school has been dedicated to bringing education to all, especially “the Last, the Lost and the Least”.

As for our education provisions, we believe that an important part of our Lasallian education is to develop ‘good character’: a set of core ethical values that enables students to, not just be successful in exams, but live fulfilling lives as members of society. Our character education programme provides a framework by which we aim to cultivate ‘practical wisdom’ so that members of our community are able to make decisions that are guided by a moral compass, empathy, tolerance and consideration for others.

Our Mission is to Enabling students, within a Lasallian community, to learn how to learn and to learn how to live, empowering them to become people of integrity and people for others.

At SJIIM, we believe that an important part of Lasallian education is to develop ‘good character’: a set of core ethical values that enables students to, not just be successful in exams, but live fulfilling lives as members of society. As such, our character education programme provides a framework by which we aim to cultivate ‘practical wisdom’ so that members of our community are able to make decisions that are guided by a moral compass, empathy, tolerance and consideration for others.

We understand that, whilst performance virtues (such as resilience, grit and determination) and intellectual virtues (such as critical thinking and reasoning) are important, for these to be true virtues they need to be guided by moral virtues (compassion, integrity and humility) and civic virtues (community awareness, civility, service).

We believe that:

• Good character can be caught through the promoting of positive school values and the development of a culture where people feel respected and valued.
• Good character can be taught through the development of classroom activities that provide the vocabulary and means by which students can reflect on their own character and what they can do to improve it.

To build good character, as a school, we encourage:

• All members of our community to show care for one another and build positive relationships founded on fairness and mutual respect;
• All members of our community to contribute to the school in meaningful ways – this includes engaging with service outreach activities;
• All members of our community (whether staff, parents or students) to model exemplary behaviour and attitudes;
• All members of our community to ensure our school is a clean and safe environment.
