The International Islamic school (established in September 1998) is unique in that it is the first international Islamic school offering a more Islamically integrated education in Malaysia, arguably in the world as well. The chapter presents a detailed case study on the International Islamic School, examining its history, founding philosophy, vision and mission, its academic and non-academic curricula, and its problems and challenges.
