Giving Back to the Community

This blog post will tell you about three magnificent international schools in Malaysia that you should visit and consider for your kid's education.

The British American School of Kuala Lumpur (BASKL) – an outstanding UK charity school

If you know someone who is passionate about giving back to the community, search no further – here is a charity that truly cares about the people and places they serve.

The school was established in 1972 and named after the first British high commissioner to Malaysia, William Slim Bruce. While the original school building in Kuala Lumpur has since been replaced, the school continues to serve students from pre-school through to post-graduate level.

The school is committed to providing high quality, long-term international education for children and young people from around the world. Students receive a British education and are encouraged to be independent and enthusiastic learners. Students study in a range of subjects, including the British curriculum – leading to A levels or equivalents – as well as subjects such as Japanese, Mandarin, French and Spanish. In addition, students have the opportunity to study abroad for a period during their school time. This could include studying in a Japanese university or college while attending BASKL, or spending a semester in a Spanish university.

The school is committed to maintaining a high international profile. This is reflected in both its teaching staff and its student body. The school currently has over 150 teachers and staff and over 1,500 students, with the majority being international students. The school is also a founding member of World Schools, an organization established to promote internationalism in education.

Merdeka School – a progressive Malaysian school for gifted children

The Merdeka School was established in 1965. The school is named after the country's independence and is dedicated to the advancement of national culture and education. The school promotes international awareness through its diverse student population.

The school follows the British school curriculum, with students studying English, Science and Technology, Mathematics, Social Studies, Creative Arts and Languages. In keeping with its progressive mission, the school welcomes students with strong personalities, academic ability and exceptional artistic skills. The school is also home to one of the largest computer science departments in Malaysia.

The school's art department promotes international awareness through its exhibitions and performances. Students get the opportunity to study a range of art and design related subjects, including Graphics and Design, Photography, 3D Design, and more. Not only will this equip them for the 'Real World', it will also give them a global perspective.

International School of Kuala Lumpur (ISKL) – a leading British boarding school that offers quality education

One of the most reputable and high-achieving schools in Southeast Asia, the ISKL was established in 1962 and named after the country's second president, Hashim Wahhab. The school follows the British school curriculum and offers an education that is rigorous yet personal.

ISKL promotes internationalism through its diverse student body. The school encourages students to take advantage of all the opportunities that Malaysia has to offer. This includes teaching them to appreciate and value differences, and understand how their own unique experiences and perspectives can contribute to the global community.

The school's co-curricular activities include; an annual expedition to an overseas destination, which this year is Costa Rica; a sailing club; a rugby union team; a football team; a hockey pitch and skating rink; in-house band; an orchestra and a choir.

ISKL is also the only school in Malaysia to hold a U.S. embassy charter – a testament to the school's global connections and community engagement initiatives.
