About international schools in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
International schools in Kuala Lumpur offer a broad choice of curricula - most commonly British, International Baccalaureate (IB) and American programmes, alongside Australian, Canadian and a number of national or bilingual options - which makes matching a child’s prior schooling relatively straightforward. English is the usual language of instruction, while Bahasa Malaysia is taught as a compulsory or statutory subject in many schools and Mandarin, French and other modern languages are widely available as additional options. Annual tuition varies a great deal by school, campus and year group, from lower-cost international or bilingual options up to premium IB or international campuses, so families should budget accordingly and check current fees with each school. Admissions run on both January and August/September intakes at many schools, and parents relocating to Malaysia should plan early for application tests, deposits, waiting lists and any immigration paperwork such as student- or dependent-pass procedures.
