M'KIS Varsity Girls' Basketball Team Takes ISAC Silver
Go Tigers! Our M'KIS Varsity Girls' Basketball team ended their local league winning 9 games out of 10. After a hard-fought championship game against ISKL, the team took home the ISAC silver medal.
Mr. Budworth, one of the team's coaches gave a brief account of their road to the championship at ISAC:"The first game with KLASS was tough beyond compare. They are a great team with talent a grit. One of our players, Dani, went down with an ankle injury 3 minutes into the game. The other Tigers made it happen in an overtime thriller with a last-second shot for victory by our seventh-grade hero, Olivia."
This was a great result these superstars. The coaches and the M'KIS Community are very proud of you.

Press Release - M'KIS Upgrades Admissions and Upper School Offices
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - Mont’Kiara International School (M’KIS) has announced the launch of their newly renovated admissions and upper school offices. The M’KIS Operations team and construction crew began work on the project in early December 2018 and managed to complete the project within 5 weeks.
This project was initiated due to the continuous increase in the number of admissions tours over the past year. Designed in consultation with the M'KIS Leadership team, the M’KIS Admissions department will now have significantly more space to meet with prospective families as well as additional rooms for academic screening purposes.
The upper school leadership team has been placed more centrally in relation to the middle and high school sections of the school, making the team more accessible and visible to students and parents. M’KIS has seen a more than 20% increase in growth within the middle school over the past year.
Mr. Darren Brews, The Director of Marketing and Communications at M’KIS stated, “We are excited to see the impact that these new developments will have on both the admissions and upper school departments. Each area has been carefully thought through and we believe that it will only enhance the experience here at M’KIS. We are constantly looking to innovate here at M’KIS, not just from an academic standpoint, but from a family experience standpoint as well. "

Grade 5 Visitor from Ericsson
Grade 5 was privileged to recently host Linda Lindberg from Ericsson.
