International schools in Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley form one of Asia's most competitive international-school markets, serving Malaysia's affluent families — the majority of enrolments since local access was liberalised — alongside the capital's expatriate community. Long-established British names sit beside newer campuses, clustered in Mont Kiara, Ampang and the southern corridor, at fees well below Singapore's.
