We teach English (Singapore and Cambridge English), Bahasa Melayu (including our Bijak Bahasa programme and BM essay writing), Mandarin and Maths. Pupils on the current curriculum also study Science, and Year 1 and Year 2 pupils on the new KP2027 curriculum get support with Alam dan Manusia homework and topics.
Is WizKids ready for the new KP2027 school curriculum?
Yes. From 2027, pupils starting Year 1 follow the new Kurikulum Persekolahan 2027 (KP2027). In Years 1 and 2, a new subject, Alam dan Manusia, replaces Science, Health Education, Visual Arts Education and Music. WizKids supports Year 1 and Year 2 pupils with Alam dan Manusia homework and topics, while children already in school continue with Science under the current curriculum.
Do you help with homework?
Yes. Teachers go through each day's homework with your child, guide spelling, and run targeted revision before school exams.
Do you run school holiday programmes?
Yes. Our themed holiday programmes cover community service, hands-on entrepreneurship and environmental projects.
Who runs WizKids?
WizKids is led by its founder and Principal, Melinda Siew. She was previously Deputy Principal of Academics at Sri Nobel and Examination Secretary at Sri Nobel, Sri Garden, Sri KDU and SM Taman Connaught.
How does WizKids handle discipline and bullying?
We never use caning; we guide behaviour with positive reinforcement. All staff complete anti-bullying training led by child psychology and counselling specialists, so problems are noticed and dealt with early.
How clean is the centre?
We clean twice a day with specific sanitisers, use air purifiers, and arrange regular pest control.
How much are WizKids' fees?
Fees depend on the programme and the number of days. Please contact us for current fees. We announce any fee change well in advance and never raise fees suddenly.
How do I enrol my child?
