International schools within budget

madhurip

Hi all,


We are moving to KL in a month or 2 and i am anxious as i a have been unable to finalise on the schools for my kids - age 10 and 4.

Had GIIS or Sayfol international on mind. Pls provide reviews of both the schools. Also in case of any other schools in the same budget please suggest. Currently we are located in kerinchi.

All the above mentioned are god awful schools. As an educator I would never work at any mentioned here, and certainly wouldn't ruin my kids education in these.


Some that you might consider in the mid range are Taylor schools, SKIS and ELC (cheapest'). If you can't afford these DONT be an expat with kids! Is my advice. Employers should always offer a free school place.

Hi Madhuri,


I would recommend Heritage International School, heritage.edu.my, which offers quality education not only academic but also non-academic.  My son, age 12 and daughter age 8 study in this school, and we have been happy with their progress. It is within a good budget of around 18K per year compared to other international schools. Both, GIIS and Sayfol charge much higher fees, but their education is below mark based on my conversations with parents of these school. Especially, GIIS has a terrible classroom culture plus there is high orientation towards academics, disregarding the mental health of students.


Do let me know if you need more information

I would defer on Heritage Int. School. My close friend recently sent his child for the assessment test and was told that he didn’t do well when actually his child scored straight As in his current school but wanting to join as the Heritage is nearer to his abode. Was told by the school’s management that the questions tested were not entirely of the child’s grade level to his dismay. They even charge to sit for the test and not show proof of their markings. The minute he was told about how the management deals with such important matters he was relieved he knew sooner than later. He even wanted to make an appointment with the principal but was wholly evasive and never got the chance. It is a total red flag when even the principal refused to make an introduction. Trust me there are better schools out there that will treat parents with more respect.
