Highly NOT recommended, if you are looking for your children bright future please stay away from this school. Your children loose, their discipline, and Teachers are very very rude. if you want see the real situation of school, visit during school finishing time, BIG BIG BUSES move like a hell, no one will be there to control, and kids bullying, running here and there usual. Education is like corporate training, teacher doesnt care if you children learn or not, they just finish their syllabus. NOTED Point here is, if you are NON-ARAB, you dont see your kids pics any where, they will not be given any preference in cultural and sports activities. and noted point here is this is NOT islamic school.

I do not recommend this school. I am a student of this school. The atmosphere of the school is not acceptable. Loud students who are even below the cultural line and some teachers are good, but still many teachers try to interfere in the students' lives and They don't understand the students. There is a lot of pressure on the students. We have to be in Madzasakh at seven in the morning while school starts later. My house is far away and by the time I get home it's 4 in the afternoon. However, school ends at two. It's normal, but on Thursday we have to be at school until three o'clock, which is too much. Also, I'm in level 1 Arabic. However, they give us a lot of Koran that we have to memorize. I have nothing to do with this, but why should we memorize something that we don't understand? While it is not beneficial for us, I think that reading is much more suitable and that the school education system is low and they force you to do sports in hot weather, the weather is unbearable, this school only wastes your time. I came to malaysia for education but i think my country was better(im from Iran)

This school had turned my grade A student daughter from her previous school into a poor performing student due to unorganised teaching system. Imagine 775 assignments were given in 3 and a half year time. No sports or co curriculum activities were introduced and encouraged by the school. Online classes at 5pm on certain weekdays where children supposed to be playing with their friends. A lot of homework everyday. Teachers are mostly inexperienced and young. Syllabus are tough but teachers would only wanted to finish them. Timetables changed in short notice and very often happened. Students became very stressful and so as parents. Parents ended up helping their children to finish their homework as if we parents have no other things to do.

This school should not be called an international school. Just an Arabic school. The standard is not on an international level. Primary school students feel pressured. They are making my kids hate going to school. This dose not meet our expectations as a parents.

Unequivocally, my wife and I made the correct choice when we selected the international modern arabic School. The way his teachers have helped our son develop his individuality, while at the same time emphasizing self-discipline and respect towards others, has truly been a heartening experience. It’s funny sometimes, that as a parent, you learn just as much from your kid as they do from you. Thanks every and each staffs of IMAS .

Nice facility and this school is a registered Cambridge IGCSE centre. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Kids have been with the school for about 2 months now and they like it. We thought it was just for Arabs but there are many non-Arab students at the school and everyone seems respectful of each others. Program seems solid. We'll see how the year goes.
