Hello! Meet Brazilian student Ana Hummes Ota. She had been to five schools in four countries before she arrived at Mont’Kiara International School for Grade 9 – one week late.
Her parents had sent her to another school in KL but it just didn’t suit. When the family visited M’KIS, she grabbed her mum’s hand and exclaimed: “This! This is the school that I want to come to!”
This is Ana’s story that traces her journey to New York University, where she is currently doing her degree in film and television production:
“I could do anything and everything: performing arts and sports. One of the things that made me who I am now is the theatre."
Learning beyond the classroom
“There was a schedule clash for drama and football and I didn’t want to give up on either. So I talked to my teachers and they figured out a schedule just for me. That was amazing!”
“The learning had lots of fun social moments. Lots of good memories studying and hanging out with friends.”

“We pushed each other to study and the teachers were so involved. If it was exam time, one of us would bring a notebook to the canteen and all of us would huddle around with cups of coffee.”
These illustrations are drawn by talented Year 11 student Shayona Chatterjee. Her awesome Year 10 Personal Project, The Dreams You Once Had, was written and illustrated by her, and published by M’KIS.
“We’ve lived in Germany, China and now Malaysia, and I speak with
experience when I say M’KIS ticked all my boxes for a superior
international school. It is a well-run smaller school filled with warmth
and positivity.
It offers a highly respectable IB programme, multi-nationality students and expat teachers who really know what IB is about.
But what matters most is my children’s journey over the
past seven years. They experienced many positive and even life-changing
instances. They learnt, questioned and grew in a beautiful and enabling
safe space.
I am also proud to have contributed as a parent
representative in the school. We really love M’KIS. It will always hold a
very special place in all our hearts.”
