Résumé:

The origins of the Mission Schools are traced back to the 16th century Portuguese Mission in Malacca and then explained via the study of twelve landmark institutions of both Portuguese and French origin, which formed the backbone of English-language education in Malaysia and Singapore for two centuries. Containing over two hundred images of major buildings that once set the tone for education throughout Southeast Asia, this book completes the architectural study of Malaysia's Mission Schools that began with the Mission Schools of Malaya. This book pays special tribute to the incomparable legacy of the La Salle and Infant Jesus Institutes in Malaysia and Singapore. With the other Missions, they gave to our cities places of honour.
