Top 10 British Schools In KL Offering English National Curriculum
Where To Study English National & Cambridge International Curriculum In KL
Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur is a stimulating city and often the base for expats stationed in the country. UK and Malaysia have historically had strong ties to one another, and this translates into their educational relations today with an increasing number of British schools and universities showing interest in opening campuses in the country.
Even among Malaysia’s international schools, the British Curriculum is by far the most popular curriculum – and no wonder. It feels like (global) home to many expats and is a globally recognized and widely popular program that prepares students for the best universities in the world. This may still not prepare you for the fact that there are about a hundred – yes, hundred – international British schools in and around Kuala Lumpur!
When talking about British schools, we mean those that offer the English National Curriculum and/or the Cambridge IGCSE program, i.e. the International General Certificate of Secondary Education qualification, a UK-based program equivalent to the GCSEs taken by students in Year 10-11 in the UK to prepare them for further pre-university level study like A-levels. The global community allows for some flexibility; international schools around the world can combine curricula for an even more comprehensive approach and may not divide the educational journey into Key Stages, for example, but offer different pathways toward the qualifications mentioned above. To help you narrow down your search, we’ve shortlisted 10 best British international schools in Kuala Lumpur!
