Welcome to the new ZERA International School website

We’re delighted to welcome you to the new home of ZERA International School online. This site brings our story, our programmes and our values together in one place — and makes it easy for families to find exactly what they need.

Everything here is built around one simple idea, the spine of who we are: Cambridge rigour, family heart. A world-class Cambridge curriculum, delivered with the personalised care of a close community.

A quick introduction to ZERA

The name zera means “seed” — a symbol of growth, transformation and potential. Just as a seed is planted, nurtured and grows into a mighty tree, we’re committed to cultivating the minds, hearts and character of every student.

Our roots run deep. ZERA began in 1998 as the CA Christian Resource Training Centre — the very first homeschool centre in Johor. In 2021 we launched ZERA Academy with an initial group of 32 students, persevering through the pandemic with innovative online teaching. In 2023 we opened zera PLUS for children with special needs, and by 2024 ZERA International School had secured a campus able to welcome up to 650 students at Eco Palladium.

What you’ll find here

• Our programmes — the Cambridge curriculum for Years 1–11, zera PLUS special-needs support, and zera ECA extracurricular activities.
• Counselling & care — how we support the wellbeing of every child, because education begins with wellbeing.
• About ZERA — our story, mission and the team behind the school.
• Facilities — a tour of the spaces where our students learn, create, play and are cared for.
• Admissions — how to join, what to prepare, and our intakes in August, January and April.
