ISKL champions personal growth, development, and self-directed learning with an inclusive education support system that nurtures all learning needs with a school-wide student support and counseling program. Our educational approach is incorporated into our school’s vision, which encourages our students to explore their passions and interests, develop their competencies, and have an ethical impact on the world.
ISKL offers a robust international curriculum, combining leading North American educational frameworks and global best practices where student progress is closely monitored and regularly assessed using international standards-based frameworks focusing on 21st-century skills. What makes ISKL unique is its diverse range of high-quality, transdisciplinary programs that enable learners to develop their abilities, interests, and aspirations. As proven in practice, our students consistently outperform regional and global averages, with over 20% of our International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) students achieving 40 points or above, placing them in the top 10 percent worldwide.
At ISKL, being future-ready goes beyond academic success. ISKL’s rigorous yet holistic curriculum equips students with the skills, competencies, and mindsets they need to navigate change, challenge, and complexity, care for their and others’ well-being, and contribute positively to the world. Our approach is based on global research and best practices, underpinned by our School-wide Learning Results (SLRs) – Think Creatively, Collaborate Constructively, Reason Critically, Communicate Effectively, Learn Enthusiastically, and Live Ethically.
In line with this, sustainability and service learning are embedded within the curriculum to ensure students learn how to take action to affect change now and in the future. ISKL prepares students not only for academic success but also for meaningful, impactful lives.
At ISKL, students have opportunities to engage in invaluable learning experiences that uncover new passions and interests while developing life skills, confidence, and friendships. Our co-curricular activities encompass a wide range, including sports, performance arts, music, Model United Nations (MUN), debate, and clubs covering topics from animal rescue to robotics. We also offer cultural enrichment experiences and regional travel for service learning, sporting tournaments, and cultural conventions, with parent invitations to watch children showcase their learning through live performances and tournaments.
Our holistic education approach supports students in exploring their passions and becoming ethical global citizens. Whether through our artist-in-residence program, which brings authors, musicians, and sports coaches from around the world to inspire and upskill our students, or our service learning program, which includes regional travel opportunities with the High School Global Action Program (GAP), students school-wide benefit from ISKL’s variety of global opportunities.
As an international school, ISKL fosters a vibrant tapestry of cultures, encouraging mutual respect and understanding. Since our curriculum and co-curricular programs promote global awareness and an international mindset, students get to compete with peers across various disciplines through the Association of International Malaysian Schools (AIMS) and Interscholastic Association of Southeast Asian Schools (IASAS), enhancing their sense of belonging and developing their global citizenship beyond ISKL.
At ISKL, we understand that every child is unique and learns differently. In any classroom, students come with varying levels of knowledge, skills, and understanding. We take a whole-child approach, providing academic, behavioral, and social-emotional support tailored to each student’s needs. Some students may require support in all three areas, while others might need it in just one or two. Our goal is to ensure every student receives the necessary support, when they need it, for as long as they need it. This individualized support may last a few weeks, a semester, or longer, depending on the student’s needs.
To help us achieve this, we use a Multi-Tiered System of Support based on international best practices. This framework allows teachers to proactively identify, assess, address, and monitor each student using a variety of classroom data and observations. This enables us to provide early intervention and adjust the level of support as needed.
ISKL’s world-class faculty are forward-thinking educators passionate about providing the best possible learning experience. Recruited globally, our team represents nearly 20 countries, bringing a wealth of expertise and cultural diversity. Over half of our International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme teachers are also IB examiners, offering valuable insights and practical experience.
We are committed to ongoing professional development, ensuring our faculty remain innovative in their teaching approaches. At ISKL, we provide an equitable, inclusive, and world-class learning environment, with all employees united in their passion for furthering student learning.
When you join ISKL, you become part of a friendly, dynamic, and inclusive international community. The community comprises 1,700 students, families representing over 70 nationalities, employees from around the world, and our active global alumni community.
The ISKL community extends beyond the school. Many of our students actively participate in various clubs and activities that positively impact the local and regional community. These initiatives focus on service and sustainability, aligning with our vision and mission of caring for all and creating a better world.
All community members are encouraged to participate in or initiate activities to promote or showcase a cause they deeply care about. In addition, thanks to our robust parent-school partnership programs, extensive parent workshops, and friendly Parent-Teacher Association (PTA), parents are valued and actively involved in organizing and fundraising school events to support our students.
Whether starting school for the first time or transitioning from another school, our support framework and culture of care and empathy ensure that students and families feel at home from the moment they enroll.
We take pride in our dynamic community, which constantly strives to enhance our students’ experiences and well-being.
ISKL stands out among the many international schools in the region due to several key factors, including our status as a non-profit institution. This unique status means that all revenue generated from tuition is reinvested back into the school. This reinvestment allows us to recruit the best international educators and create an optimal learning environment for our students. Our non-profit nature ensures that our students are always at the center of our decision-making process, providing a rich variety of opportunities for every learner to discover and reach their full potential.
At ISKL, we are more than just a school; we are a community-focused organization. Our priority lies in the collective growth and development of our students rather than financial gain. This community-centric approach fosters an environment where students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. We are committed to creating a nurturing and supportive atmosphere that encourages students to explore their passions, develop essential life skills, and become well-rounded individuals. By reinvesting in our school and focusing on student-centered decision-making, ISKL ensures that each student receives the best possible education and the opportunity to succeed in an ever-changing world.
