Methodist Boys' School, Kuala Lumpur (Malay: Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (L) Methodist, Kuala Lumpur; abbreviated MBS Kuala Lumpur) is a semi-government aided Cluster School of Excellence[1] and High Performance School in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It was founded in July 1897, making it one of the oldest schools in Malaysia. It is known as MBS and its students are known as MBSians. The school is also known as Horley School, a reference to one of its principals, Rev. William E. Horley, who was responsible for changing and giving the school its present name from the previous name of Anglo-Tamil School. The name Horley School has been widely misunderstood as a reference to marble, which is also called Horley in Chinese, a game that was popular amongst its students then. It is noted for its library, which attracts visits from many other schools.
In 2008, Methodist Boys' Secondary School was awarded cluster school status by the Malaysia Ministry of Education (MOE). In 2009, Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (L) Methodist had 644 male students making the total number of students 644. It has a total of 60 teachers.2009

After more than a century and twenty-one years since its establishment by a British medical officer on the warship HMS Orion, Dr William T Kensett, MBSSKL has been awarded a cluster school by the Ministry of Education. MBSSKL is the only school in Kuala Lumpur that was established by a British military officer.
