First Dutch-inspired creative school · Pinggir TTDI, KL
Summer Academy is a creative primary school for children aged 7–12, built on the Dutch belief that children learn best by doing, choosing, and playing. We’re here to make school the best part of the day — and to create magical memories along the way.
Who we are
Summer Academy is Malaysia’s first Dutch-inspired creative primary school. We took the parts of the Dutch system parents love — trust in the child, freedom to explore, and learning that starts with real work — and grew a warm little school around them in the heart of Damansara.
Our teachers don’t just deliver lessons. They watch closely, ask good questions, and open the right door at the right moment — so every child leaves each day a little braver than they arrived.
The Dutch way trusts children to lead. Days are built around choice, real materials, and time to go deep — so curiosity does the heavy lifting and learning feels like play.
Reading and sums matter — but so do the skills report cards forget. We build the confidence to stand up, speak clearly, solve problems and do the right thing when no one is watching.

News from home, the plan for the day, and one very good story.
Reading, writing and numbers — chosen, self-paced and taken seriously.
The court, the garden and the climbing games — fresh air resets everything.
STEM, art and design — the messy, marvellous heart of the day.
Family-style tables — sharing food, stories and the day’s small victories.
Public speaking, drama and music — where quiet ideas learn to be heard.
Why families choose Summer

Real fluency, built through everyday use rather than rote learning.
Public speaking and presentation from Year One — children who can hold a room.
Open-ended projects that reward thinking, not memorising — skills that last.
Small classes and warm teachers — everybody is known, nobody gets lost.
Festivals, excursions and everyday joy — the moments children carry for life.
Our daughter used to dread school. At Summer Academy she runs to the gate. She’s reading in three languages, she stands up and speaks like she owns the stage, and she talks about her teachers like family. This is the childhood we hoped for.
