We are thrilled to inform you that UCSI International School Springhill has officially received the Silver Award certificate from WWF-Malaysia for implementing sustainable practices in our school based on the eco-school 7-step methodology. Our educational practices and activities strongly align with SDG and Eco themes and we thank the whole school community for making this happen.

The Eco-Schools Programme (ESP) is the largest sustainable schools programme in the world, which is currently running in more than 60 countries.
