[title]The British International School of Kuala Lumpur opened its doors in 2009 and is known for its excellent facilities and high academic standards. It can now add another feather to its cap, as it has become part of the Nord Anglia Education (NAE) organisation, which comprises the leading premium schools in the world. At the moment there are 56 international schools located in 24 countries.
Being part of this prestigious network allows BSKL to strengthen its academic credentials and enhance learning through several key initiatives. These include the Global Campus connecting 50,000 students around the world with a programme of events and expeditions within the region and beyond. BSKL students will have the opportunity to explore the world, learn new skills, further develop an international perspective and benefit from collaborations with esteemed schools like MIT and Juilliard.
Another significant advantage of belonging to such an organisation is the ability to recruit and retain excellent teachers who are given professional development opportunities through Nord Anglia University. All BSKL teachers hold international teaching qualifications from well-regarded institutions.
About BSKL
BSKL follows a curriculum based on the English National Curriculum and was graded ‘excellent in all areas of educational provision’ in the recent Independent Schools Inspectorate report – a result comparable to that of many top UK independent schools and unprecedented in Malaysia. The school has also been awarded the COBIS (Council of British International Schools) Patron’s Accreditation and is the first school to gain this honour in Asia.
Facilities are spread across three campuses and include indoor sports halls, swimming pools, football fields, a 650-seat theatre, specialist music and dance rooms and well-stocked libraries. Students achieve superb exam results with 75% of students achieving A*/A and 93% achieving A*/B grades in last academic year’s IGCSE exams. Furthermore, 100% of last year’s Year 13 A Level students secured places at their first choice university.
To prepare students for the future, BSKL focuses on instilling confidence, independent thinking, resilience and ambition. Taking initiative, contributing positively and being aware of how their behaviour can make a difference are constantly emphasised. For a school with a truly global outlook, BSKL aims to be the top choice for local and expatriate families.
