Reviews
- Eco-Islamic Cambridge curriculum school in Setia Alam, Shah Alam, founded 2015. Five-star Ministry of Education rating.
- Parents in Kuala Lumpur recommended Idrissi to a Muslim family looking for an English-medium Islamic school in a family area, alongside Seven Skies in Shah Alam.
- Parents praise the teachers, the family-feel community, and fees that are competitive against secular international schools.
- No critical signal surfaced. Outside of the school's own marketing, the data pool is thin and skews positive from local parenting blogs.
Positives

Considerations
