Educational Technology

All campuses feature a state-of-the-art and fully-connected campus linked through a wireless network.

Technology remains at the forefront of Cempaka Schools education. Aside from being the first Apple Distinguished School in ASEAN, our school is the first Malaysian school to completely embrace and advocate Schoology, which was named as the Best LMS in 2014 and 2015 at the Codie Awards, the education technology industry's equivalent of the Oscar Awards.

Schoology is also used by the Palo Alto School District (serving the Silicon Valley, USA), New York Academy of Sciences, Global STEM Alliance (launched at the United Nations in 2014), and country-wide MOE deployments such as in Uruguay.

The school is governed by a Responsible Use Policy which comprises the rules of the usage of technology facilities. It serves to protect the privacy and security of all users.
