The School's 65th Anniversary Celebrations

Having studied in Malaysia, and more recently Brunei, I can confidently state that there are some truly wonderful independent schools in Southeast Asia. Not only are the teachers extremely talented, but the students are also very motivated and hard-working. There is also an abundance of tourist attractions, including beautiful gardens, waterfalls, and tropical beaches – all of which add to the charm of the country.

The international school in malaysia of Kuala Lumpur (ISKL) offers an international Bachelors degree in Business and IT. The school also offers the IB Diploma and various English-taught Advanced Certificates. In addition, the ISKL Young Business Leaders program aims to provide a platform for students to further their studies, gain experience and develop their professional networks. Graduates of the program will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to assume senior management roles within the region's most prestigious companies.

A Global Perspective

The school's main campus is located in Kuala Lumpur, while a second campus is situated in Labuan. This provides an excellent opportunity for the student to learn from both Malaysian and International teachers. In addition, the school delivers high-quality lectures and laboratories, industry-focused study visits, and social mixers with prominent business figures from around the world.

The curriculum is designed to provide students with the skills they need to succeed in today's global corporate world. In line with this, the school places a heavy emphasis not only on academic excellence, but also on providing the student with the cultural awareness and foreign language skills needed to succeed in the region.

Traditional Malay Culture

The school also hosts the prestigious Kuala Lumpur International Film Festival (KLIFF) in September. During the festival, students and teachers can attend screenings of the latest Malaysian and international films. The festival also provides an opportunity for local filmmakers to exhibit their work and gain experience in the film industry.

The school has established strong partnerships with international businesses, cultural centers, and educational institutions. These relationships provide the opportunity to gain valuable work experience, access to special events and exhibitions, and an increased global perspective. In addition, the school offers an internship program, allowing the student to gain real-world work experience in a professional environment.

Wonders Of Nature

The area surrounding the school has some amazing traditional Malaysian buildings, which the student are able to access and explore during their studies. Some of these structures were originally built as part of the school's campus. In particular, the Gunung Ledang Geological Park is a must-see. The park has a series of caverns, lush rainforests, and a mineral spring that the student will enjoy exploring. The park's caves were originally used for storing gunpowder during the Japanese occupation in World War II.

The school is also located in the vicinity of the Kampong Java Bird Park. Here, the student can see a large number of exotic animals, including orangutans, Asian elephants, and gibbons. In addition, the park's naturalists offer regular feeding sessions, providing the student with an opportunity to learn more about the region's fauna.

More Than Just A School

In the coming months, the school will celebrate its 65th anniversary and look back on a very special period in its history. Beginning in September, the anniversary celebrations will focus on the school's rich past, with lectures, exhibitions, and social events.

To celebrate this important milestone, the school will be holding a number of special events, including an open day in September, a dinner dance, and a gala ball.

A Tricky Situation

Getting into university in Malaysia can be tricky. With scores of applicants for every seat, the competition is fierce. However, the good news is that student loans in Malaysia are widely available and relatively inexpensive. In fact, most students are expected to provide their own financing for their studies. This can be easily established with an education loan, providing the student with the funds they need to pursue their dreams.

To secure their dream job, many students will be required to undertake post-graduate studies. However, with the cost of living in Malaysia escalating, many students are looking to save as much money as they can, before paying back their loans. Fortunately, a post-graduate course in Business, for example, will not only give the student a solid foundation in theory, but also equip them with the practical skills needed to be successful in the global corporate world.
