Welcome to the website of the International School of Kuala Lumpur. I trust this site will offer helpful insights about ISKL whether you are presently a member of the ISKL community, anticipating a move to Kuala Lumpur and considering enrolment at ISKL, or are just seeking data about excellent international schools.
What does ISKL offer that is excellent? Excellence always begins with people. ISKL has an outstanding faculty and staff, talented and motivated students and a supportive and enthusiastic parent body. This combination is a powerful mix that generates excitement for learning on a daily basis. ISKL holds high academic and behavioral standards for its students that ultimately result in our students attending outstanding colleges and universities around the world.
The student body is consistently challenged and supported. These are the words of the Vision for our Students: “To walk in a harmonious environment, where care follows closely behind, learning is stimulated, curiosity is sparked, vision is cultivated and action is inspired.” This vision sustains us in all that we say and do. Each day our faculty and staff seek to offer both challenge and care to our students, assisting them to meet their potential as students and global citizens. We value education for the whole child, fostering the intellectual, emotional, social and physical development of our students.
At ISKL our two campuses are friendly, vibrant environments in which parents, alumni and guests are welcome on a daily basis. Consistently developing a strong sense of community where people are valued for their interests and contributions is very important to us. We offer students and families a broad array of opportunities to become involved in the school. Our co-curricular program is an expansive one and results in campuses that are busy from early in the morning to, often, late in the evening.
These are exciting times for ISKL. Despite the global recession, our
enrolment has remained strong, reaching over 1,600 total students each of the past two school years. Our student body is diverse, with 60 nationalities represented, and with no one country representing more than 21% of our total students. Any student attending ISKL will literally have the opportunity to interact with students from around the world each day.
In addition, our campuses offer excellent facilities that provide a wonderful environment for learning. Even as we seek out a site for a new campus on which to accommodate our growing population, we have put much time and energy into enhancing our present campuses. We have also consistently improved and enlarged the programs offered to our students via, for example, a new Mandarin Language program for our Grade 3-5 elementary students and a new experiential learning program for our high school students.
I am very fortunate to be a member of the ISKL community. I hope you will have an opportunity to join me for at least a portion of the 2010-2011 school year.
Paul Chmelik
Head of School
