Established in 1965, The International School of Kuala Lumpur (ISKL) is the first fully accredited international school in Malaysia and is home to more than 1,500 students from over 60 countries.ISKL is a private and nonprofit, parent-governed school accredited internationally through the Council of International Schools (CIS), and in the United States through the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). ISKL is also accredited through the International Baccalaureate Organization (IB), the first IB accredited school in Malaysia.
Over the years, ISKL has built its outstanding international reputation by balancing sound tradition for academic excellence with innovative approaches to teaching and learning. We nurture young minds with the spirit to succeed, preparing them for a lifelong journey of opportunities ahead of them with determination and confidence.
International School of Kuala Lumpur offers programmes from Prep Reception (3 years old) to High School diploma which is either the International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma or Advanced Placement (AP) courses.
ISKL is a technologically advanced school, and technology plays an important role in the lives of the students and teachers. At ISKL service-learning is utilized both in the classroom and in co-curricular clubs/activities. Though Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is not a required component of all service learning experiences, it does provide an excellent foundation upon which to identify issues that have global significance, but which are dealt with (through service learning) at the local level. In short, service learning is a natural bridge of the ESD curriculum and compliments ISKL's school wide learning results (SLRs).
In August 2018, ISKL's two campuses at Melawati and Ampang is combined into one purpose-built campus in Ampang Hilir, where ISKL offer its exceptional programs in a world-class facility. With approximately 25.7 acres of land, ISKL will provide the most advanced learning environment featuring academic, arts, and athletic resources. From world-class science labs, classrooms, art facilities, and three libraries, the school also includes flexible spaces designed to incorporate the latest in teaching and learning concepts. With extensive playing fields, an Olympic sized track, two gymnasia, and tennis courts, the new campus is adorned with superb sports facilities. Also, the standout Aquatics Complex includes one 50-meter Olympic sized competition pool, a 25-meter daily activity pool, and a learn-to-swim pool for young learners. The Performing Arts Center (PAC), with four distinct elements, will showcase local and regional events that serve the needs of the community well beyond that of ISKL. Included in this complex will be a purpose-built 700 seat Performance Theatre, an Atrium Amphitheatre, and plans for further completion of a Concert Recital Hall and Black Box Theatre.
The building is designed to achieve the Green Building Index (GBI) Platinum rating, will serve as a laboratory for the study and understanding of environmentally sustainable practice. The school reflects the institution's ethos and focus on care for the environment. The school values the involvement of parents in the life of the school and as such, has intentionally created gathering spaces for parents and volunteers to meet. From a full-service Coffee Shop, to parent lounges and dedicated Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) spaces, the campus design supports ISKL’s unique and warm community.

“My favourite memories are Swimming IASAS; every one of them had a euphoric feeling about them on the final day, jumping in the pool with our coaches, team mates and new friends from other schools, the perfect culmination of a season’s efforts. It’s a feeling I doubt I’ll ever be able to replace.”
Matt Nobles (‘02), Chief Compliance Officer with GE Gas Power MENASA, Dubai
“I had such a great experience…the teachers were fantastic! My Middle School teachers, Mr Teppen in Science and Mr Fish in Math, were dynamic, interesting, with tons of energy. They made everything real in their teaching methods, with lots of fun thrown in, especially Mr Fish. His thing was he could walk on his hands, he would walk up and down the hallway on his hands, just to get a rise out of the kids.”
Dr. Elena Azizan (‘05), Former ISKL IB Scholar
“ISKL IB education was very useful for me as it gave me the first taste of research which I did through the extended essay in Chemistry with Mrs Goh. It shaped my passion for scientific research which resulted in a postgraduate degree at the University of Cambridge and led me to my current choice of career as a research lecturer in UKMMC (Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre).”
Tracy Candler (‘99), Recipient of the John G. Hadwen Award in 1999
“Junior year I traveled with a group of students and teachers to the Philippines on the Habitat for Humanity trip. The whole week we were serving and working hard to help the people of this village. We stayed with a local family and I remember feeling overwhelmed by their generosity. They had so little, and yet gave us so much. The week was sweaty and tiring, but so satisfying. I very clearly remember riding back to the mainland on the ferry, with an overwhelming sense of peace.”
Ed Moline (‘03), Script Writer and Producer
“ISKL instilled an attitude in me that if you wanted something to be different in the world, you should go out and make that difference yourself.”
Andre Sun (‘08), IB English Teacher in Shanghai, China
“ISKL is and will always be an important part of my life. It's one of the main reasons why I want to pursue my career in education and especially in an International school. I love making a difference to the world in a positive way.”
Anne Chua (‘15), Junior Doctor, Southampton General Hospital, UK
“ISKL had the slogan of 'big school opportunities with small school feel' and I think that pretty much sums up my experience at ISKL. ISKL (the old Ampang campus) was the smallest international school I attended but was also the closest knit community I had throughout my childhood years. I made some of my closest friends during my time at ISKL as well as the closest relationships with teachers and staff members. After having moved around a few times, it felt like the perfect way to conclude four years of high school at ISKL, being in a community that I felt that I belonged to.”
