Established in 1965, The International School of Kuala Lumpur (ISKL) has become known as a center of excellence in the world of international education. ISKL is a co-educational, private, not-for-profit school responsible for the learning journey of over 1,500 students aged 3-18 years from more than 65 countries, located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.
ISKL offers a robust international curriculum that combines leading North American educational frameworks with global best practices. The curriculum recognizes that students are on a lifelong learning journey and is driven by ISKL’s purpose to prepare our students for life itself, as we believe in the importance of helping students to shape their own paths, supporting them in discovering their passions, developing their competencies, and having an ethical impact on the world.
ISKL is the longest running IB World School in Malaysia and has been authorized by the International Baccalaureate Organization to provide the prestigious International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) since 1989.
ISKL is also the only school in Malaysia to offer this range of high-quality, transdisciplinary pathways which enable every learner to choose the curriculum best suited to their abilities, interests, and aspirations. Options available include PRAXIS 2030 (for Grade 9 to Grade 10 students), Pursuits Program, the full IB Diploma, or a student-selected combination of individual IB, Advanced Placement, and High School Diploma courses. This flexibility creates global further education opportunities with ISKL’s students receiving acceptances from leading universities worldwide.
ISKL is accredited internationally through the CIS and WASC. ISKL has a strong focus on service and sustainability across its divisions and is a member of the Eco-Schools organization and the Green Schools Alliance.
CIS is a global membership community working collaboratively to shape international education through professional services for schools, higher education institutions, and individuals.
Our members share these ideals:
• a desire to provide students with the knowledge, skills and abilities to pursue their lives as global citizens;
• a commitment to high quality international education.
To achieve this goal, our members must infuse their programmes and offerings with international and intercultural perspective so that students can move forward with the attitudes and understanding that will provide them with a solid base wherever their studies or work may take them. Primary and secondary school members must further commit to undertaking an ongoing external quality assurance process to enhance student learning.
The CIS community includes more than 1360 members in 122 countries.
