🇲🇾 International Schools in Kuala Lumpur
6 schools, profiled on verifiable public data.
Kuala Lumpur has one of Asia's largest and most affordable premium international-school markets, anchored by long-established British and American schools, full IB-continuum providers, and a handful of schools offering genuine boarding. Malaysia has no public school inspectorate, so schools are evaluated on verifiable accreditation (CIS, WASC, COBIS, BSO) and curriculum rather than an official local quality grade. British-curriculum schools can be accredited under the UK's British Schools Overseas (BSO) and COBIS frameworks — the one route to a published quality band. Fees are published in Malaysian ringgit and, since July 2025, carry a 6% Service Tax (SST) on annual fees above RM60,000.
