Accommodation Types & Schooling in KL

Hi Rose

Hopefully some of our expat experts will be able to get back to you with their own experiences, but for now, have a look at our guides to Schools in Kuala Lumpur and Accommodation in Kuala Lumpur for a breakdown of what you can expect. 

Hope this helps!

Hi Rose! 

I work as a school consultant here so hopefully I can help! Most schools here follow the Aug-June academic year, though a few do follow the Jan-Dec academic year. There is a great Australian school here (AISM) and also a new Australian school (Peninsula International) that you might want to look into.

I'd start applying as soon as you're sure of your arrival date & which term you want them to join. Schools do charge application fees (regardless of whether your application is successful) so you do want to be pretty sure of your schools before you apply, rather than applying for several all at once. 

Year level placement is determined by your children's ages & place availability. Most schools here aren't academically selective, but they do do entrance testing to ensure your children can access the curriculum and to double check they don't need extra learning support.

Here's a list of schools divided by prices:
