What are the schools in Kuala Lumpur like?

"Kuala Lumpur is home to a number of excellent international and bilingual schools. The International School of Kuala Lumpur (ISKL) is one of the top international schools in the city, offering a comprehensive education from pre-K to grade 12. ISKL is accredited by the Council of International Schools and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, and offers a rigorous academic program with a focus on global citizenship. The school also offers a wide range of extracurricular activities, including sports, music, and the arts. The Garden International School (GIS) is another top international school in Kuala Lumpur. GIS offers a British-style education from pre-K to grade 13, and is accredited by the Council of International Schools and the International Baccalaureate Organization. The school has a strong focus on academic excellence, and offers a wide range of extracurricular activities, including sports, music, and the arts. The Alice Smith School is a top bilingual school in Kuala Lumpur, offering a British-style education with a focus on bilingualism. The school is accredited by the Council of International Schools and the International Baccalaureate Organization, and offers a comprehensive curriculum with a strong emphasis on language development. The school also offers a wide range of extracurricular activities, including sports, music, and the arts," commented one expat when asked about in Kuala Lumpur.

"I would suggest that if parents want their children to go to an international school, they should send them to a large, well-established school with an excellent reputation. I would avoid local schools with international departments until they were well-established, with a proven track record. Alternatively, I would suggest considering homeschooling which enables parents to closely monitor their child's learning and builds trust and communication within the family," remarked one expat living in Kuala Lumpur with children attending Sri Murni.
