SunnyBrook Education Group Attends International School Fair in Kuala Lumpur
SunnyBrook Education Group recently participated in the 23rd Private & International School Fair held at Mid Valley Exhibition Centre, Kuala Lumpur on 1-2 November, showcasing its global education solutions and partnership opportunities for Malaysian international schools.
Representing the group, our subsidiary HolaLobe Education, founded in 2021 in Ningbo, China, specializes in international academic pathways, university admissions counseling, and cross-border collaboration with leading schools across Asia.
Connecting Chinese Families with Malaysian International Schools
In recent years, more and more Chinese families have begun exploring Malaysia as a preferred long-term education destination. They seek reputable international schools where their children can study from primary through upper secondary levels, enjoying an English-based curriculum and multicultural environment before applying to universities worldwide.
HolaLobe Education serves as a bridge between these families and Malaysian international schools, helping schools expand visibility and reach through our strong network of partner schools, education consultants, and family communities across China.
Market Insights: A Growing Demand with Limited University Access
From our on-site observations, around 80% of Malaysian international schools currently offer IGCSE-only curricula, focusing primarily on middle and lower secondary education. Only 20% provide A-Level or other pre-university programs, which means most students must later turn to foundation or local pre-university routes to enter higher education.
This structure creates a gap between secondary school graduation and global university admission, particularly for families aiming for QS Top 100 universities in countries such as the UK, Canada, and Australia.
Introducing OSSD: Empowering Top University Pathways
To address this challenge, SunnyBrook introduces the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) — a Canadian high school qualification recognized globally by universities.
By integrating the OSSD pathway, international schools in Malaysia can:
- Enhance their curriculum portfolio with a globally recognized qualification,
- Improve students’ university admission rate to top-tier destinations, and
- Attract more international and Chinese families seeking high-quality overseas pathways.
SunnyBrook Education Group is committed to building sustainable education partnerships that empower schools and students worldwide.
