What are the schools in Kuala Lumpur like?

"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," commented one expat when asked about Sri Murni in Kuala Lumpur.

"If you are prepared for having your child taught by teachers who are not really as good as they think they are - who have no idea about extension (except the british teachers who number 4). if you are prepared for islamic pupils to be given religious instruction and no other religion - if Christian pupils are not allowed their own opportunities for learning - an islamic camp but no Christian camp. if you want to have the best headmaster we have ever known, but know he is wasted here and will move on - facilities and health and safety issues which are poor - owners who ponce around and run a school that has no real educational insight - who have got through 4 principals in 10 years, and we know Mr Shere is too good to wish to continue putting up with the rubbish he has to contend with (dinosaur teachers with not an ounce of proactive professionalism)then send your child here. otherwise if you can afford it send them to a REAL international school that aims to compete with similar schools by putting money where it matters, and not the owners' pockets," explained one expat in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia with kids at Mutiara International Grammar School.
