Westlake International School (WIS) is an affordable British curriculum school with purpose-built boarding facilities located in Kampar, Perak. The self-contained 20-acre campus opened its doors eight years ago and has an outstanding proven IGCSE track record including having three students receiving awards for Top In the World in Mathematics. The school believes that every child is unique and with the BEST (Boarding, Education, Sports and Talent) experience they can achieve their full potential.

Over the years WIS has developed a wide range of programmes and partnerships offering support and enabling students to gain entry to top universities around the world. One of these partnerships is between Westlake International School and Oxford International College (OIC). WIS has collaborated with OIC for a variety of programmes like IGCSE revision workshops and STEM projects.

As a result of this, OIC has awarded WIS with the Oxford International College – Westlake Scholarship Award. This award is open to any WIS student upon completion of Year 11 and the IGCSE exams, and offers two deserving recipients the opportunity to further their studies at the prestigious Oxford International College, the top ranked A level college in the UK.

It is important to note that this scholarship is aimed at students who posses a positive attitude and a willingness to achieve their academic goals. Westlake International School is committed to offering the best programmes, support and guidance to ensure students rise to the challenge.
