Mont'Kiara International School (M’KIS) is a close-knit community school which prioritizes personalized attention, excellence and inclusion. Here, every child is a name, not a number. The school, which offers Pre-K to Grade 12, embodies the true spirit of an international school with students from over 55 nationalities and a dynamic expatriate teaching staff.
An IB World School since 2000, M’KIS is one of a select group of full-continuum schools in Malaysia. We offer the IB Primary Years Programme, the IB Middle Years Programme and the IB Diploma Programme.
My kids love M'KIS, and they're doing well in school.

But when we walked through the gates of M'KIS, it was so welcoming; it felt like home! Everything that we looked for, we found here.
My kids love their school, the dynamic teachers, their multinational friends and the great community. Their English has improved tremendously too.
This overseas experience is all that we could have wished for. From the bottom of my heart: So grateful. Thank you, M'KIS.”
“I am autistic and I face certain challenges. I was barely passing subjects in my old school but when I transferred to M’KIS in Grade 10, the American program let me thrive. I could learn in different ways and choose from a wider range of subjects.
When I graduated last year, I received Honor Roll awards; my GPA was 3.5, which is unbelievable! As M'KIS is a smaller school, everybody knew me and accepted me. This was so good for my social skills, confidence and self-esteem.
Amazingly, M’KIS offered me an internship as assistant coach for PE and swimming and I love working with the students. Truly, I’ve taken my first big step towards adulting and a career.”
“The school’s commitment to academic excellence, its focus on developing the whole child, and the supportive community truly impressed my wife and I throughout the 12 years my two kids were here.
In addition to being challenged academically, they had the opportunity to explore their interests and talents in a variety of co-curricular activities, including sports, music and art. They made many close friends from a global community and felt supported by their teachers and classmates.
Because of the school's focus on character education, our children learnt the importance of education, honesty, respect and responsibility. They also learnt how to work hard, persevere and be good citizens of this world.
We are truly grateful. Thank you, M’KIS.”
“My two children enrolled at M'KIS out of necessity for a well-rounded education. We were immediately impressed by the curriculum and stellar teaching staff. We remember the affable and helpful admin team, especially Ms. Alice Tan and Ms. Sumathi.
We knew we had chosen the right school from the way our children were taught under the International Baccalaureate programme. When Nabil and Amira graduated with excellent results, they not only gained acceptance into their chosen universities abroad but were even exempted from certain first year coursework, resulting in significant cost savings.
We firmly believe M'KIS offers one of the finest curriculums available and wholeheartedly recommend it to any student or parent seeking an inclusive education.”
“My two kids have been at M'KIS since 2011 and we’ve made friends with so many people from around the world – this is a true multicultural community that you can never experience elsewhere.
Because my children underwent the PYP and MYP programmes, it was seamless for them to move on to the IB Diploma.
Since M'KIS has a strong cross-grade mentorship, my children got help from their older schoolmates. The teachers are wonderfully caring and offered personal care. This is the best part of being in a medium-sized caring school!
I am very happy with M'KIS. My kids love M'KIS, and they’re doing well in school. There is nothing better than this!”
“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.”
