Datin Dr Hjh Faridah is a visionary Islamic educationist and a pioneering figure in the integrated Islamic school movement in Malaysia. She currently serves as the Board of Academic Advisor to Queensville Integrated Islamic School and as the founding patron of the Integrated Islamic School Network (IISN) — a national network of schools committed to Quranic, holistic, and forward-thinking education.

She founded the Integrated Islamic School Shah Alam (IISSA) in 2007, beginning with only 30 students. Today, the school has grown to over 600 primary and 200 secondary students, across multiple campuses in Shah Alam (Seksyen 7, 19 and 20). Under her leadership, IISSA successfully integrates both the IGCSE Curriculum and the KSSR National Curriculum, making it one of the early adopters of dual-stream Islamic education in Malaysia.

“We are not only preparing students to excel in this world — but to lead it, with the light of the Quran as their guide.”
