About international schools in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Kuala Lumpur’s IB international schools are a varied group: many are authorised to deliver one or more parts of the IB continuum (Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma) and the market includes purely English-medium schools as well as bilingual or trilingual programmes. English is typically the language of instruction, with Mandarin and Bahasa Malaysia commonly available as second-language or first-language options depending on the school. Annual tuition varies widely with age and school profile, but families should expect fees in the tens of thousands of ringgit per year and to budget separately for registration deposits, transport, meals and external exam or activity costs. Admissions run on mixed rhythms - some schools follow an August-to-June or January-to-November calendar, many accept rolling applications, and non-Malaysian students usually require Education Malaysia Global Services (EMGS) clearance before final enrolment.
