How are we different from your run-of-the-mill international school
PasXcel is an online secondary school teaching the Cambridge IGCSE curriculum.Students from 23 countries (and counting) attend Pasxcel’s life-changing classes daily. We are Malaysia’s trusted live IGCSE school with 94% renewal rate and a 100% Cambridge-aligned curriculum.
PasXcel is suitable for students who thrive with structure, personalised pacing, and a more supportive learning environment. Whether they have ADHD, weaker English foundations, long academic gaps, or simply want a school that finally matches their potential. It’s also ideal for bright learners who find traditional school slow or unengaging, as well as families who relocate frequently and need a stable,internationally recognised programme.
PasXcel uses the Cambridge IGCSE curriculum, a globally recognised qualification accepted by universities and institutions worldwide.
The programme emphasises mastery, critical thinking, and real-world application rather than rote memorisation. This allows students to build strong academic foundations while keeping their future pathways open internationally.
Yes. PasXcel is internationally recognised because it delivers the Cambridge IGCSE curriculum, one of the world’s most accepted secondary qualifications. IGCSE results from PasXcel can be used to enter colleges, pre-university programmes, and international institutions across the globe.
Online learning at PasXcel follows our scientifically designed PICAP framework, inspired by Harvard Business School, where students watch pre-class materials, complete short assessments, and teachers analyse their responses to identify weaknesses before class begins.
Live lessons are interactive, highly audited, and focused on strengthening understanding through active questioning, not passive listening. Combined with our research-backed SMART schedule, short 1-hour classes, and structured recap breaks, students learn faster, remember more, and stay fully engaged.
Upper Secondary (IGCSE) Subjects
*Offered once a year in May
Lower Secondary Subjects
Classes at PasXcel are intentionally kept small, with a maximum of 10 students per class to ensure every child receives personalised attention and active engagement. This allows teachers to track each student closely, provide real-time feedback, and create a safe learning environment where students feel seen and supported.
PasXcel classes are taught by specialised full-time educators who are experts in the Cambridge IGCSE syllabus and trained in our PICAP and SMART teaching frameworks.
We also invest in sending our teachers for official IGCSE training to ensure they stay updated with the latest exam standards and global best practices. This combination of expertise, continuous training, and internal class audits ensures consistently high-quality teaching.
Yes, every Ascension PasXcel student receives personalised mentoring through 1-to-1 classes in addition to their regular group lessons. These sessions allow teachers to target individual weaknesses, track progress closely, and provide emotional and academic support tailored to each student. This ensures no child gets left behind, and learning remains both structured and personalised.
Progress at PasXcel is tracked through weekly assessments, class audits, and real-time teacher monitoring using our PICAP framework.
Parents also receive consistent updates so everyone stays aligned on the child’s growth, challenges, and next steps.
At Pasxcel, we believe that age is not a barrier for knowledge or wisdom. Thus, there is no minimum age to join both our upper and lower secondary program. Admission is entirely based on the outcome of your child’s Discovery Session and academic readiness. The session helps us decide whether the program is a good fit for the child.
You can apply by filling in PasXcel’s online application form, after which our team will review your child’s suitability and arrange a brief Fit Check call.
If aligned, your child will then complete a Discovery Session to assess academic level, learning style, and psychological readiness. Once the evaluation is complete, we guide you through the final enrollment steps and class placement.
The Fit-Call is a short conversation where we determine whether PasXcel is the right environment for your child and whether your family aligns with our structured, high-accountability learning system.
During this call, we learn about your child’s background, challenges, goals, and readiness for online learning while also answering any essential questions you may have.
Yes, every student completes a Discovery Session, which is our version of an academic and psychological assessment. During this session, we evaluate your child’s current academic level, learning style, behavioural patterns, and readiness for PasXcel’s structured environment. This ensures we place your child at the right starting point and design a learning plan that truly fits their needs.
Yes, students can transfer from another school to PasXcel at any time of the year. We’ll review their background during the Fit-Call and Discovery Session to determine the right level and subjects, then place them into classes that match their pace and readiness. This ensures a smooth transition.
Yes, placements are limited because all PasXcel classes are kept intentionally small, with a maximum of 10 students. This ensures every child receives personalised attention, close monitoring, and consistent support from their teachers.
Yes, international students can join PasXcel from anywhere in the world. Our fully online classes, flexible scheduling, and internationally recognised Cambridge IGCSE curriculum make it easy for students outside Malaysia to enrol.
No, we don’t require a separate English test. Your child’s English level will be assessed naturally during the Discovery Session.
We accept enrolment all year round, so your child can start as soon as the Fit-Call, Discovery Session, and class placement are completed.
Students only need a laptop, a stable internet connection, and a quiet study space to join PasXcel effectively. These basics ensure they can participate in live classes, complete assessments, and stay fully engaged without interruptions.
PasXcel is real schooling, not tuition.We have a complete timetable for the week including our own comprehensive subjects, IGCSE subjects and community activities. Moreover, one-on-one tutorial classes are also offered on a need basis for all our students. This helps parents eliminate the need to spend money and effort to engage external tutors.
Our personalised roadmap is a customised plan created after the Discovery Session to map out your child’s academic level, learning pace, subject readiness, and psychological needs.
It outlines exactly where your child should begin, what skills they need to build, and how we will support them step-by-step toward their IGCSE exams.
This ensures every student follows a path that is realistic, strategic, and aligned with their unique strengths and challenges.
We help struggling students through 1-to-1 support, personalised learning plans, and small classes that allow teachers to identify and fix weaknesses quickly. Using our PICAP framework, teachers track each child’s thinking process and provide targeted guidance.
Yes, we guide families through the entire IGCSE exam registration process. We help you choose the right exam centre, subjects, and exam session, and ensure you understand all deadlines and requirements. This makes the registration process smooth and stress-free.
Yes, students can accelerate their learning at PasXcel. Our PICAP framework is specifically designed for accelerated learning, allowing students to progress faster once they’ve mastered key concepts. This means motivated learners can move ahead without being limited by a traditional school pace.
Students typically have 3–4 hours of classes per day, depending on the number of subjects they take. The maximum is up to 5 hours a day, but this is only for students with heavier subject loads. Our schedule is designed to balance learning, focus, and rest effectively.
Yes, homework is assigned a minimum of once a week for each subject to reinforce what students learn in class and introduce exam-style questioning to ensure adequate exposure.
We keep teens motivated through engaging, interactive classes where teachers use active questioning, real-time feedback, and small-group discussions to keep students involved. Because classes are small, every student is seen, heard, and guided, which naturally builds accountability and interest.
Yes, we help students build confidence through small classes, personalised 1-to-1 support, and structured opportunities to speak and participate.
Teachers use guided questioning and positive reinforcement to help students express themselves and take academic risks safely. Over time, students become more assured, independent, and willing to engage.
We don’t offer a separate foundation or bridging programme, but our IGCSE curriculum allows students to enter foundation courses worldwide.
Completing the Cambridge IGCSE pathway at PasXcel gives them the recognised qualifications needed for colleges and pre-university programmes internationally.
Yes, parents receive regular updates. For parents in our standard programme, parents will be notified if any issue arises with homework, attendance or any general school notifications. For parents in our Ascension programme, they receive the same thing with an addition of consistent progress reports per subject and feedback. This ensure parents are always kept
in the loop regarding their child’s progress.
Reports are given once a term for all standard students. For students in our Ascension programme, reports are provided every month, on top of the personal progress shared during their 1-to-1 sessions. This ensures parents stay fully informed at every stage.
No, parents do not need to teach. PasXcel provides full academic instruction, mentoring, and progress tracking, so your child is fully supported by our teachers. Parents simply need to ensure their child attends classes and follows the learning routine.
Parents receive consistent progress updates, term reports, and direct communication from the Student Affairs Officer so they always know how their child is doing.
We also guide parents on how to support routines at home without needing to teach the content. This creates a clear partnership where parents stay informed while PasXcel handles the academic and mentoring support.
Yes, we hold formal meetings with parents during our Parent-Teacher Meetings (PTM) each term. If parents have concerns in between, they can always email the school, and our Student Affairs Officer will respond and advise on next steps. This ensures open communication and timely intervention whenever needed.
