About this school
Cempaka Damansara Heights was founded in 1983 as Sri Cempaka by Dato Freida Pilus, a pioneer of Malaysian private education, who started the school in a rented bungalow on Jalan Bukit Bintang with 30 students and eight teachers. After two moves along Bukit Bintang it settled in Damansara Heights in 1989, and it later took the name Cempaka as it expanded into international curricula.
The school educates students aged 2 to 18 on a single campus:
- Michelia, a Reggio Emilia-inspired early childhood centre
- Primary and secondary years, including a comprehensive Finnish school model covering nine years of schooling
- British IGCSE and A Level examinations, in which the school highlights its track record
Cempaka has been a member of the International Schools Association for more than a decade. School life includes sports, performing arts, service programmes and expeditions, organised around a house system with four houses named Beruang, Harimau, Helang and Seladang.
