A World of Opportunities Awaits You at ISKL this September!

As one of Malaysia’s leading international schools, The International School of Kuala Lumpur (ISKL) embraces a holistic approach to education, focusing on nurturing the person rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all approach. Recognizing that every child learns differently, ISKL’s mission is to cultivate passions, values, and competencies that will inspire learners to shape their path as global citizens.

Situated on a sprawling 25-acre campus in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, ISKL’s campus offers a world-class learning environment where students can discover their passions and shape their futures as global citizens. Beyond that, this campus is not just a place for academic growth; it is a space where friendships are formed and lifelong memories are crafted, fostering a strong sense of belonging and community.

This sentiment is echoed by recent ISKL graduate Rika Singh (‘24), who reflects on her time at ISKL with fondness. She shares, “The countless memories, laughs, tears, and growth that this place has fostered will always insulate the walls of the home in our hearts. And when we do get to come back for those brief moments, this home will always greet us with love, with sunshine, and with life. So much life. It will always say, welcome home.”

Rika’s words capture the essence of ISKL’s nurturing environment, where over 1,700 students thrive and feel truly at home. ISKL’s purpose is to prepare students for life, helping them shape their paths, discover their passions, develop competencies, and make an ethical impact on the world.

ISKL’s holistic educational offerings include the world-renowned IB Diploma programme and the innovative PRAXIS and Pursuits programs. From Early Childhood through Grade 12, ISKL instills values such as self-directedness, creative thinking, critical reasoning, and effective communication—essential life skills that are integral to its learning principles and culture.

Visiting a school is an essential step for parents to understand how their family can fit into the community and how their children can thrive. Christina Decu, ISKL’s Director of Enrollment Management, emphasizes the importance of experiencing the school community and environment firsthand. She notes, “It is important for parents to visit a school and get a feel of how your family could be part of the community and your children to grow to be their best selves. We encourage families to take the time to come and visit us if they can, meet as many members of our community as possible, and experience ISKL in person. Here, we don’t just enroll students—we enroll families.”

ISKL will hold its Open Day this September, providing families with the opportunity to explore the ISKL approach in preparing their children for the future. This event offers a chance to tour the state-of-the-art ISKL campus, hear from the Head of School, Mr. Rami Madani, and engage with key community members, including Students Admission Representatives (STARs), Divisional Principals, and parents during a Q&A session.
