The International School of Kuala Lumpur (ISKL; Malay: Sekolah Antarabangsa Kuala Lumpur[2]) is an American non-profit school in the Kuala Lumpur metropolitan area, Malaysia. The curriculum is international-based, and offers students the chance to earn a High School Diploma, an International Baccalaureate diploma (or certificates), and to attend Advanced Placement programs. It is accredited by the United States-based Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and internationally through the Council of International Schools (CIS).
The majority of students are from expatriate families seeking a western school system for their children while living abroad. At the same time, many Malaysians are seeking an American-based education who also attend the school. While the school focuses on a western education system, it also maintains and encourages cultural relations with its host country, giving students the opportunity to participate in a variety of cultural activities.
It has three divisions: elementary school, middle school and high school. ISKL is currently located in a 26-acre site on Ampang Hilir, moving from its previous Ampang campus in 2018.[3][4]
