About The Surin Academy
The Surin Academy (TSA) is a progressive school that believes that every child has a right to an education that suits their individual needs. As the sole boutique school located in the leafy suburbs of Ampang, we pride ourselves on our intimate class size with attentive and personalised learning plans. We follow the British National Curriculum, however, we strongly emphasise the development of 21st-century skills.In the working world, academics must come hand-in-hand with skills. At TSA, students take the lead in executing their projects and topic-based assignments. They develop soft skills, from leadership, teamwork to problem-solving.
No two students are the same. We acknowledge this by taking into account their wants, interests, strengths and weaknesses in our teaching process. To our Surin family and students, school is not just for learning but it is the place where personalities flourish, skills evolve and compassion grows.
TSA desires to inspire and lead, to be giving, courageous and bold, action-oriented, energetic and strong-willed. One who makes a difference in the world.
TSA offers Early Years Foundation Stage, Primary School and Secondary School for a seamless transition for all students.
