Oasis is a really tight community. Everyone knows each other, and everyone will support each other. Teachers here actually challenge you to do better—and not only will they challenge you, but they’ll work to get to that goal with you.

– Lydia A., 10th-grade Oasis International School student

Developed in partnership with IJM Corp., the school’s 12acre campus sits on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur in IJM Rimbayu— a mixed development of residential, commercial, recreational and parkland components.

Oasis International School serves as an anchor tenant for IJM Rimbayu, which covers nearly 2,000 acres and boasts a gross development value of $2.3 billion.

the situation

Oasis International School is currently leasing its campus from IJM and has reached an urgent financial inflection point within the lease structure.

NICS has identified the following two courses of action:

Option 1 (desired outcome):

Purchase the school campus from IJM.

Option 2 (alternative outcome):

Close the school within the next 24 months.

The opportunity

NICS is on a mission to raise $25 MILLION to secure the future of the Oasis International School.

13.8% uptick in international students since 2018

Malaysia is an optimal NICS location due to both missional alignment and market growth—including a 13.8% uptick in international students over the past five years.

Oasis International School is extremely well positioned within the competitive market thanks to these distinctions:

State-of-theart campus in a highly desirable location

Competitive tuition fees, approximately 13.5% below market average

Curriculum differentiation, including U.S.based Advanced Placement (AP) courses

Significant concentration of highly qualified expatriate teachers

It’s amazing here. The people are friendly, and I fit in immediately because everyone just welcomes you in.

– Ellie T., 6th-grade Oasis International School student

We know that in order for students to be prepared for learning, they need to feel both socially and physically safe , and they need to be healthy. So we take very seriously our afterschool activities, our physical education and those extra programs that really contribute to the whole child.

– Dr. Jessica Hale Middle & High School principal

Sustained impact of your investment

The bulk of capital raised will facilitate the purchase of the school’s entire campus, eliminating the escalating lease with IJM.

Purchasing the campus will immediately help Oasis International School become financially self-sustaining, securing the promise of Christian education in Kuala Lumpur for future generations.

11.6% growth in annual tuition fee income since 2018

Capital funding will also help “seed” a revolving loan fund for future organizational NEEDS, directly supporting the growth and development of the entire NICS organization.

The school’s repayment of $25 million to the revolving loan fund will be used to finance future NICS growth opportunities across the globe.

Projected return on investment

Return on capital* (ROC) is estimated at 8%, and the simple payback of $25 million is 14 years.

PROJECTIONS ARE BASED ON:

• Average enrollment growth of 12% for the first three years

• Subsequent annual average growth rate of 5% as several school grades near capacity

• Annual tuition increases of between 4.4 and 5.9%, in keeping with market data

The three things we focus on in our mission at Oasis are character, leadership and innovation. We’re looking at, what do our students leave with? They have to leave with a sense of obligation to the world.

– Ben Hale Head of Oasis International School
