The Fairview International school network system also provides relevant areas for research especially for longitudinal studies on classroom pedagogy, curriculum development, best teaching practices, educational psychology, cross-cultural and inter-cultural studies, leadership co-curriculum and other educational-related research focus.

With the expansion and the experience gained, UCF intends to help the nation to be recognised as a hub for excellent education and eventually help export the Malaysian brand of education abroad.
