As one of Malaysia’s leading private school networks, REAL Schools is more than just a place for academic learning—it’s a catalyst for shaping future leaders. With a commitment to nurturing students who are confident, capable, and globally aware, REAL Schools prepares every learner for a life of purpose and progress.
REAL Schools is part of the XCL Education group, a forward-thinking family of institutions dedicated to fostering curiosity, academic excellence, and life-shaping experiences. By focusing on each child’s strengths, XCL Education equips students with the tools they need to succeed in a fast-changing world.
Founded over 30 years ago in a humble bungalow, REAL Schools has grown into a respected institution with three purpose-built campuses across Malaysia, including its well-regarded schools in Johor Bahru. This evolution from modest beginnings to national recognition reflects REAL’s unwavering dedication to delivering high-quality education to thousands of students.
To date, more than 25,000 graduates have passed through REAL Schools’ doors—many of whom have advanced to renowned universities such as Cambridge. This track record reflects the school’s unwavering focus on excellence and its ability to prepare students for global opportunities.
REAL Schools offers both international and national curriculums tailored to meet students’ diverse learning needs. Whether aiming for an IGCSE certificate or a national qualification, students benefit from a supportive learning environment and experienced educators who bring out the best in them.
The Cheras Hillview Campus exemplifies REAL’s commitment to creative expression. Surrounded by lush greenery and filled with vibrant murals, it provides a rich artistic atmosphere where students can explore their talents and express their identities in meaningful ways.
At the Shah Alam Greenpark and Johor Bahru Sanctuary campuses, students experience the benefits of learning in nature. These campuses offer tranquil environments that promote focus, mindfulness, and wellbeing—ideal conditions for children to grow both intellectually and emotionally.
At the core of REAL Schools’ philosophy is the idea that every child deserves the chance to dream big. Through real-world exposure, leadership programmes, and project-based learning, students discover their passions and build confidence to take on future challenges.
REAL Schools also invests in preparing students for the unknown. As the future becomes more uncertain and complex, the school’s emphasis on adaptability, problem-solving, and digital fluency ensures that students are ready to thrive in industries that have yet to be invented.
The school’s approach is not only about classroom success—it’s about character development, too. With a strong focus on values, empathy, and integrity, students grow into individuals who understand their role in shaping a better world for all.
Backed by the strength of XCL Education, REAL Schools provides its campuses—including its schools in Johor Bahru—with access to extensive resources, thought leadership, and global best practices. This robust network equips students with a competitive edge while ensuring they remain grounded in Malaysian heritage and values.
