Our Purpose
About Us / Our Purpose
Through our LUCA’s DNA, which includes 10 Learning Core Competencies and 30 developmental markers, we intentionally develop every learner’s ability to think critically, grow in self-awareness, solve problems, communicate clearly, and lead with resilience. We equip students not only for academic success, but for life-long leadership rooted in truth.
As a Cambridge IGCSE-aligned school located in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, we provide a globally respected academic framework, enriched by personal mentoring and character formation. Our educators are also continuously trained through our Teaching and Learning Programme, ensuring every child receives excellent, student-centred guidance. At LUCA, we live and breathe our motto: I Learn, I Love, and I Live by Good Example. Because when a student is transformed they go on to transform others. Welcome to LUCA where education is life-changing, and every life matters.
At LUCA International School, we believe that the most meaningful education is one that changes lives and empowers students to change the world. Our purpose is grounded in this conviction: Life Impacts Lives - An Education that Transforms.
We don’t just teach for exams. We prepare students to live with purpose, lead with wisdom and impact others through truth, character, competence and love.
Rooted in our name, LUCA reflects a culture of Light (transparency and accountability) and Wisdom (discernment and values). Our community is built on the foundation of R.I.P.E. Respect, Integrity, Passion, and Excellence which guides our decisions, relationships, and daily actions.
