The International School of Kuala Lumpur (ISKL) believes that its success today is based on how well it prepares its students for their future. Offering a diverse academic and co-curricular program, ISKL supports learners in exploring and developing the passions, skills, and competencies they need to be future-ready, not only for university and their career but for life itself.
The school is located on a 25-acre, state-of-the-art campus in the heart of Kuala Lumpur and is home to students representing more than 70 nationalities. Students benefit from its robust international curriculum that combines leading North American educational frameworks with global best practices.
ISKL is a fully inclusive school and offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) on a non-selective basis. As the longest-running World IB School in Malaysia, ISKL has seen more than 1,900 students graduate with an IB Diploma over the past 32 years. With IBDP results that are consistently above the world average, ISKL’s pass rate of 97% is a testament to the strength of its program and expert international faculty. In 2023, 13% of ISKL students scored 40 or more points, and 23% earned a Bilingual Diploma in Chinese, Dutch, French, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish.
ISKL is one of the only schools in Malaysia offering transdisciplinary pathways that are designed to enable every learner to choose a curriculum best suited to their abilities, interests, and aspirations. In addition to the IBDP, High School options include PRAXIS (Grade 9) and ISKL’s Pursuits Program combining individual IB, Advanced Placement, and High School courses for students who want to deep-dive into a specific area. The flexibility of ISKL’s academic program enables students to take advantage of higher education opportunities worldwide, as typified by the Class of 2023, which received more than 300 acceptances from over 150 universities in 13 countries.
ISKL is accredited internationally through the Council of International Schools (CIS) and in the United States through the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).

ISKL’s 44th Annual SEA Forensics and Debate Tournament Celebrates Passion and Connections
The International School of Kuala Lumpur’s (ISKL) 44th Annual Southeast Asia (SEA) Forensics and Debate Tournament was held at its campus in Ampang Hilir from January 25 to 27, 2024.
Initiated by ISKL in 1979 to encourage public speaking and debate skills, the tournament is one of the longest-running traditions at ISKL. It provides an excellent opportunity for students to improve their public speaking and performance skills while promoting and strengthening intercultural connections with their peers.
This year, the tournament saw the participation of students from eight schools, including government, private, and international schools, competing in seven categories. 28 High School students from ISKL and 119 students from participating schools took part, including the International School of Kuantan, SMK Convent Bukit Nanas, St John’s Institution, Kolej Tuanku Ja’afar, SMK St Mary, SMK Jalan Empat, Kolej Yayasan UEM, and the Shanghai American School.
Throughout the 3-day tournament, students presented more than 250 speeches and performances. Along with other schools that participated, 40 refugee students from STEM Savers Save School community partnership club were invited to attend the Duet Acting finals.
Congratulations to all the participants involved. This event is a testament to the strength of ISKL’s partnerships with schools around Southeast Asia.
