Expanding opportunities for our students, families, and educators through a world leading international schools organisation

Mont’Kiara International School (MKIS) is proud to announce that, from August 2026, we will officially join Nord Anglia Education, the world’s leading international schools organisation.

This exciting new chapter marks an important milestone in our school’s journey and reflects our continued commitment to delivering exceptional international education while strengthening the opportunities available to our students, families, and educators.

By joining Nord Anglia Education’s global network of now 90 schools worldwide, including 15 schools across Southeast Asia, MKIS will become Nord Anglia’s second school in Kuala Lumpur alongside the British International School of Kuala Lumpur (BSKL).

Continuing our legacy as one of Malaysia’s leading IB World Schools

Established in 1994, our school has built a strong reputation as one of Malaysia’s most established IB World Schools. We proudly offer the full International Baccalaureate continuum, including the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP), alongside the US High School Diploma pathway.

Located in Kuala Lumpur’s prestigious Mont’Kiara neighbourhood, our school is home to more than 700 students representing over 45 nationalities, creating a vibrant and diverse international learning community.
 

Our school is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), reflecting our strong academic foundations and commitment to excellence.

When it comes to academics, our students consistently achieve outstanding results. In 2025, MKIS students achieved an average IB Diploma score of 34.4, significantly above the global average of 30.58. Our graduates continue to earn places at leading universities around the world, including:

• University College London (UCL)

• University of Chicago

• University of Toronto

• University of Edinburgh

• London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)

• University of British Columbia

• King’s College London

Our modern campus features specialist science laboratories, arts spaces, and extensive athletics facilities, supporting excellence across academics, the arts, athletics, and student wellbeing.

Tan Sri Dato’ M.S. Tan, Chairman of Mont’Kiara International School Sdn. Bhd, said: “MKIS has always been committed to providing an exceptional international education in Kuala Lumpur and nurturing a close-knit, supportive community for our students and families. Joining Nord Anglia Education, the world’s leading schools organisation, ensures our school will continue to thrive thanks to our shared commitment to excellence.”
 

New global opportunities for MKIS students
 

As part of Nord Anglia Education, MKIS students will benefit from a wide range of global learning experiences that extend beyond the classroom. They will also have access to programmes developed through Nord Anglia’s collaborations with world leading institutions, including:

These collaborations bring innovation, creativity, social impact, and elite sports development into everyday learning experiences.

In addition, MKIS students will benefit from Nord Anglia’s forward-thinking approach to AI in teaching and learning. Alongside developing digital literacy skills, students will continue building the human capabilities that technology cannot match — including creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, curiosity, compassion, and commitment.

Supporting excellence in teaching and leadership

Our 180+ teaching and support colleagues will gain access to extensive professional learning opportunities through Nord Anglia University, including exclusive training with global partners and leadership development programmes.

These opportunities include:
