From learning, playing, to socialising – growing up in a digital era has completely altered our children’s approach towards education. According to UNICEF, children’s schooling, social welfare, and future job opportunities may depend on how well they understand the digital world around them.
Digital literacy is not limited to technical know-hows like learning to create spreadsheets or operating certain softwares but it truly encompasses the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that allow children to be both safe and empowered in an increasingly digital-demanding world.
Undoubtedly, our education system has a predominant role to play in helping these children develop such skills. If you’re a parent or guardian who is looking to start your children’s digital education early, Sri KDU’s new innovative campus in Klang will be worth checking out!
Offering a bespoke Digital Leadership Programme to its students, the future-ready Klang campus is also offering a 20% lifetime discount and rebates to new students for its January 2022 intake. This exclusive offer entails a wider selection of benefits that could not only help nurture our children further, but really enhancing their holistic learning experience which is in line with Sri KDU’s international pedagogy.
Sri KDU is no stranger to the unconventional education space and had built one of the first smart schools since its introduction in Malaysia back in 2003. Seeing a need for children to have a strong foundation in technology skills and leadership, Sri KDU has since decided to launch a new school in Klang that will be among the first in Asia to put a focus on cultivating digital leaders.
The Digital Leadership Programme will be accessible for all students from year 1 to year 11 (age 5 to 16), made available in the form of different monthly challenges. The programme does not require additional fees and is incorporated into students’ schedules where they are able to experience 200 minutes of digital learning every week.
Sri KDU is at the forefront of cultivating a holistic academic life and is committed in providing, and exposing students to a digital education from an early age. It is believed that this will help them develop relevant and applicable skill sets with an understanding of the digital realm.
Currently, Sri KDU Klang is giving out special rebates for registrations for the 2021/2022 intake. Parents will enjoy a 30% discount off the first year tuition fees and a 20% lifetime discount for the following years on published tuition fees, with potential savings of up to RM110,000. There is also a 100% waiver on application and registration fees. All offers are subject to terms and conditions.
Like many other skills, practice makes perfect and exposure to the digital world helps children become familiar with it. It has been studied that children who participate in a wider range of online activities are more skilled in using the internet , while those whose access to the internet is more limited tend to have weaker digital skills.
Sri KDU’s world-class facilities provide students with a safe and holistic learning environment where they can experience character building and leadership with guidance from reputable and professional teachers for an integrated and comprehensive education.
Its state-of-the-art campus has a computer lab, science lab, and an audio-visual hub. The school is effortful in helping students achieve a healthy balance between study and leisure with its varied amenities that include a library filled with over 10,000 books overlooking a lush courtyard garden as well as fun creative spaces.
For example, students also get to experiment with different interests through activities like 3D printing, cooking, coding, and more. The campus is equipped with both outdoor and indoor sports facilities that include a basketball court, swimming pool, futsal court, football field, and running track.
Engaging students in activities that encourage the application of knowledge and skills to various contexts will only solidify their learning process. Sri KDU’s new ground-breaking campus in Klang collaborates with prestigious local and international tech companies, universities, an advisory panel of technopreneurs to provide students the opportunity to work on real world projects, develop new products with start-ups, and internship placements.
Sri KDU Klang has partnered with technology giants namely Microsoft to optimise the school’s design and layout. The faculty members have access to a wealth of Microsoft training content in addition to other comprehensive internal training programmes to present students with the best academic experience.
Besides digital education, Sri KDU offers the Cambridge Primary and Secondary curriculum leading to the IGCSE programme whereby students will gain a qualification that is globally recognised.
