At ISKL, our mission is to provide “an exceptional education that challenges each student to develop the attitudes, skills, knowledge, and understanding to become a highly successful, spirited, socially responsible global citizen.” It was therefore rewarding to listen to Mark McElroy’s (Class ’97) recent TEDx talk and hear how his experiences at ISKL prepared him for life as a global citizen.
ISKL’s transition to the new, purpose-built Ampang campus in the heart of Kuala Lumpur presented an extraordinary greenfield opportunity for our specialist Technology team to research, design, and develop a Smart Campus from the ground up. The result is a digital learning space designed around worldwide best practice that is set to reshape how our students learn, study, and collaborate.
Identifying and supporting students with communication difficulties and providing language enrichment throughout Elementary School are critical components of ISKL’s Early Childhood education program. Our speech and language curriculum is led by Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP), Kathryn Balsamo who is responsible for ensuring elementary students have full support in this important area by providing in-class lessons as well as intensive one-to-one or group therapy as needed. ISKL is one of the only international schools in Kuala Lumpur offering all elementary students access to a dedicated, in-house, full-time SLP and speech therapy.
We have just completed our second round of Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) testing for Middle School this year. MAP is an internationally recognized standardized test for assessing the growth and achievement of each student. The tests cover mathematics, reading, and language usage and are not based on the curriculum. We do not “teach to the test.” Instead, the tests, which dynamically adjust to each student’s performance, measure what students know.
“This was such a great event! My kids did nothing but read when they got home from school today. They are so excited about their own “new” books and each other’s. It’s great to see how excited they are to read. Thank you!”
A holistic education at ISKL extends well beyond classroom learning and includes a comprehensive program of “service learning” opportunities where students are encouraged to get involved and make hands-on, positive changes within local communities.
