A Look Back at the Evolution of SFMS International

From its founding in 1960 with just 27 students, SFMS International has developed into a well-established private institution, offering primary, secondary, and pre-tertiary education in an international school environment. Over the past six decades, the school has provided pathways for students from diverse backgrounds to pursue internationally recognised academic qualifications, including the IGCSE, GCE O-Levels, IB Programme, and more.
