Schools

Families in Malaysia choose between international schools (high fees, transferable curriculum), bilingual private schools and the local public system. Places in Kuala Lumpur's best international schools fill a year ahead.

Questions to ask

  • Which curriculum, and does it transfer if you move again?
  • Total annual cost including levies, uniforms, transport and exams.
  • Language support for children entering the local system.
  • School calendar versus your home country's.
