Private International School in Kuala Lumpur

There is a high demand for international students in Malaysia, especially in places like Kuala Lumpur (also known as Peninsula) and Singapore where most students attend international schools. The high quality of education that these international schools provide is the reason why many families in the region migrate to Malaysia to pursue their education, even though the quality of education in Malaysia itself is not what one would call mediocre. The high demand for foreign students in the country has made it possible for families from various countries to send their kids to an international school in Malaysia.

The main aspects that one should look into when considering sending his or her child to an international school in kuala lumpur include the location, student body, teaching methods and the facilities available at the school. Almost all the key facts regarding the 94 International Schools in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia include: student body, teacher-to-student ratio, location, cost, if international schools are fully staffed, bus access, if international schools are local, curriculum and teaching methods, among others. Some schools also offer cultural programs such as Chinese, French, Korean and Japanese courses. A good international school will be affiliated with some major accreditation agencies in the United Kingdom and the United States. You can check out a list of such agencies by searching the internet on international schools in Kuala Lumpur (or any other city in Malaysia).

A good school should ensure that all teachers have adequate knowledge and understanding of their national language, which is usually English, in addition to the local language of the students. The school should ensure that the teaching practice in its various subjects is imbued with respect for the local culture of both the students and the local community. For example, it is not permissible to teach rude English, which is common in many rural areas of the country. Similarly, it is inappropriate to advocate the use of the local language in classroom discussions. Such uncalled for views could inculcate the wrong notion in the minds of the students regarding the norms of academic discussion.

The school should also ensure that the teaching format is compatible with the curriculum of the particular department or the college at which the students are studying. For example, there are a number of subjects, which require the presence of an assistant language translator, who can help the teacher to better explain the concepts to the students. Such translators are available from the same educational institutions that are accredited by the Thai Education Ministry, in Phuket, Thailand. The Bangkok International School, located in the heart of the city, has an office that is specifically meant for hiring qualified language translators who can work with students from different countries. Other than hiring qualified language translators, these schools also make use of tuition consultants, who can coach students on their work in preparing their TOEFL and IELTS examinations.

One of the most important criteria that the international school in Phuket should consider while hiring its staff is the score in English of its teaching staff. The school should also ensure that the staff has undergone the necessary coaching and classes on reading and writing, listening and speaking English. This makes them better equipped to tackle the work of their students, who come from a variety of countries and dialects. The Thai school should also offer its students’ workbooks in English that they can use in their classes. Most tenby schools do not offer such books in their curriculum, which makes it even more important for the school to make use of tuition consultants, who can guide the students on how to select the appropriate workbooks.

The school should also consider the academic ranking of the students. As the country of Malaysia is relatively high on the academic front, the global students often prefer to study in the country where their talents and potentials can be nurtured. The schools in Phuket have achieved world class ranking in almost all the major international academic tests. Therefore, the students will enjoy a high academic standard, while they are simultaneously offered competitive courses. The annual fees in these private schools in Phuket are affordable, but at the same time, provide the international students with an opportunity to experience a high quality education in a cost effective manner.
