Our Admissions Team has continued to welcome and support students and families from across the world. To learn more about our Admissions, please read our most recent Admissions blog.

Please visit our School Fees page. For additional information, please contact Ms. Alice Tan, our School Fees Executive at alice@mkis.edu.my 

In Elementary School, all stationary and planned excursions are included in the tuition fees.

M'KIS does not ask for donations or contributions over and above the fees mentioned on our School Fees page. From time to time, parents and students may ask for voluntary donations or contributions towards charitable organizations which they support.

Please refer to the Application Checklist.

To best serve those interested in joining Mont'Kiara International School, we use a secure and convenient M'KIS Online Application platform. You may also refer to our Application Checklist.

Please select the appropriate button below to start a new application process or continue with a previous application.

Before starting a new application, we would recommend that you have the following items:

• A scanned passport-sized photo of your child(ren)
• Copies of the passport bio page for each student applying and both parents.
• Copies of academic records (report cards, standardized testing results, and - if applicable - IEP/ILP) from the past three years, if relevant, for each student.
• Copies of immunization records for your child(ren)

Students in our Pre-K3 do not have a formal assessment. Students in Pre-K4 & Kindergarten have a brief developmentally appropriate assessment. All students in Grade 1 and above sit an admissions assessment where reading, writing, and math is assessed. For those students still in the process of acquiring English, an English as an Additional Language (EAL) assessment is also given. English as an Additional Language (EAL) support is available up until Grade Ten for those students still in the process of acquiring English.

Prospective students for our Pre-K3, Pre-K4 and Kindergarten classes have a brief developmentally appropriate/school readiness assessment.

We do not provide examples of our admissions test. Our best advice for the admissions test is for our prospective students to have a good night’s sleep, a healthy breakfast, and to come to school with a positive mindset.

Grade level placement is based on various factors, including, but not limited to date of birth, previous grades completed, records/recommendation from previous school as well as assessment results.

As an international school, we have students coming from a variety of school systems whereby the age of enrollment and school years differ greatly. As such the guidelines we have for grade level placement, based on date of birth, are very much an initial guideline. Grade level placement is determined by a variety of factors including date of birth, grade level completed, report cards, recommendation forms, observations, and admissions screening results.

Our ultimate aim is to always place students in a grade whereby after a smooth transition they may settle well and then flourish in all respects.

We do not have an application deadline, per se. However, we are mindful that some grades may be close to capacity. In the case of having more applicants than spaces available, we will then look at the date on which the application form was submitted and the application fee paid so as to determine priority.

The M'KIS Admission Department strives to provide a smooth process for prospective families, from initial inquiry through to enrollment. We schedule appointments carefully so as to ensure that visiting families have sufficient time to see our whole school as well as specific classrooms relevant to the age of the child(ren) applying. We schedule appointments during the school day so that families can see the school in action.

Our tours generally last 60-90 minutes. For families with children in different grade levels/divisions, there is more to cover in terms of facilities and classroom visits. We also allow time after the tour to share the admissions process and answer any questions not covered during the tour.

We do host a number of Open Days throughout the year. Please visit our Open Day page to see details of the next open day.

We actively encourage families to come for a tour. We schedule tours most days (excluding weekends and public holidays) during school hours. We do this to ensure prospective families see classrooms where students and teachers along with classroom assistants are fully engaged in the teachings. 

As an international school, we are quite used to a number of new students joining at the beginning of the school year as well as partway through the year. We work hard to ensure a smooth transition so that students may settle well and then flourish in all respects. We achieve this in various ways including the following:

We review all the application papers in advance of meeting with the family/doing the screening. The purpose of this is to give us time to ask for further information and/or clarification, if necessary, from the family.

We take our time to get to know students and families through the application process so as to put, if necessary, additional supports in place (the additional supports may be academic and/or related to social-emotional concerns, especially with the process of transition) in school or to simply give information about moving to KL and various activities/opportunities here (I have advised families in the last week about places to go horse riding in KL, a local market to buy indian vegetables not available in supermarkets here, after school dance options, as well as information about securing help in the home).

Once offered a place in our school and prior to the first day of school, a meeting is scheduled for the new student and family with our MS/HS counsellor. The purpose of this is twofold: (i) to do course selections for incoming student and (ii) to start to build a home-school partnership (families/students often share concerns regarding moving to a new school/country, especially if the first time overseas, as well as areas of strength).

We pair new students with a returning student to act as a buddy for the first few days to show to class and answer questions.

As an international school, we are quite used to students joining part way through the year. We work hard to ensure a smooth transition so that students may settle well and then flourish in all respects.

The school day begins at 8:00am and ends at 1:10pm for Pre-K3 and Pre-K4 students.

The school day begins at 8:00am and ends at 2:40pm for all students in Kindergarten to Grade 12.

For students in Pre-K3 and Pre-K4, after school activities start at 1:10pm. For students in Kindergarten and above, after school activities start at 2:55pm.

Our uniform consists of a polo shirt with the school logo and black shorts. Below is a list of the colors worn by our students:

• Pre-K3, Pre-K4 and Kindergarten students wear yellow  
• Elementary School students wear dark green
• Middle School students wear dark grey
• High School students wear white 

The vast majority of our students wear knee length shorts and a few choose to wear a skort. Upon request, students can special order trousers from the school store.

For students wishing for increased modesty, they may wear a long sleeve t-shirt underneath their polo shirt (usually white) and a tudung (white or black).

All students may choose to have lunch from the Canteen or may bring lunch from home.

Students in Pre-K3, Pre-K4, and Kindergarten eat lunch with their classmates in our Early Childhood Education wing. Students in Grade 1 and above eat lunch in the Canteen.

For Elementary School students, lunch is served between 11:40 and 12:40. Students may select from a menu in advance.

For students in Middle and High School, lunch is from 12:35 - 1:25 and they select and pay accordingly. There is variety in terms of Asian and western options. There is always a vegetarian option for lunch and the meat is halal.

Mont Kiara is a very safe suburb. About 80% of our M’KIS community live within a ten minute walk of M’KIS. As with any country, however, families should be vigilant about their surroundings when walking in public areas.

We do have a school bus system providing transportation every day to other areas of KL. There are two late buses at 16.10 and 17.10 to accommodate students who are participating in after school activities and/or sports events. 

The buses with 16-seater are fitted with seat belts, GPSs and cameras for the safety of our students and peace-of-mind for our parents. The bus drivers are medically fit to drive and always in uniform. Buses are clean and tidy.
