A new addition to Repton’s network of schools and pre-schools.
As schools kickstart their phased re-openings, Repton International Schools Ltd (RISL) has announced a new partnership with CES Repmal, a subsidiary of the Singapore-listed Chip Eng Seng Corporation Ltd (CES). The collaboration agreement establishes the newest school in Repton’s network of prestigious academic institutions around the world. The news follows CES’ December 2019 announcement of their acquisition of the Excelsior International School.
The partnership will see RISL and CES Repmal rebrand the Excelsior International School as a Repton SchoolBased in thriving Johor Bahru, the schoolwill open to children age 3-18 (K1-Year 12) this month. The school has undergone extensive refurbishment and COVID-19 protection, and staff are now ready to welcome the 2020 intake – the first pupils to enjoy the excellent facilities and teaching experiences that Repton has to offer.
Repton’s Schools and Kindergartens Around the World
The partnership isn’t Repton International Schools’ first collaboration. RISL signed an agreement with another CES subsidiary in April 2018, collating a chain of international kindergartens under the Repton name. RISL has since launched two Repton Kindergartens in Singapore and has additional contracts in place for schools in China, Bulgaria, and Egypt. Having already established excellent international schools in Dubai, Singapore, and Abu Dhabi, Repton is well-positioned to expand its collection of excellent educational institutions.
‘This is a significant landmark in Repton’s long history,’ says Sir Henry Every, Chairman of RISL. ‘We already have well-established links to the region through the Repton Kindergartens in Singapore and have flourishing partnerships elsewhere across the globe. We look forward to working closely with our partners in Malaysia to ensure this new school embodies the education and culture of Repton UK.’

The ‘house’ system at Repton is an essential part of the school’s pastoral care provision, designed to create a sense of belonging for each pupil. Every house partakes in a host of competitive activities throughout the academic year, such as sports, debates, art events, and musical performances, all designed to involve pupils in team-building exercises and share happy memories.
