Where a detail is not officially published we mark it clearly rather than guess. Always confirm current figures with the school.

Curriculum and academics

ELC International School Kuala Lumpur teaches the National Curriculum for England, adapted for an international intake, with primary years drawing on Cambridge Checkpoint benchmarks in English, mathematics and science. Upper secondary pupils prepare for a range of Cambridge IGCSE subjects, the qualification that anchors most British international schooling in Malaysia.

Teaching is in English throughout and the school reports a strong record at IGCSE, with a high proportion of top grades over the past decade. As a member of the Federation of British International Schools in Asia, ELC benchmarks itself against peer British schools across the region.

Families choose ELC for a settled British pathway at a keener price point than the premium campuses. Read our pillar guide to the British curriculum and use our Kuala Lumpur city guide to compare it with the other British schools in Kuala Lumpur.

Parents should plan for the surrounding components as well as tuition.

• Registration fees: one off charges applied at enrolment.

• Examination fees: Cambridge IGCSE entry charges in the upper years.

Admissions

The main intake follows the academic year, with applications reviewed ahead of the start of term and mid year entry where a year group has space. Admission runs through an application, previous school reports and an age appropriate assessment in English and mathematics.

Because the IGCSE years are demanding, entry into upper secondary considers prior attainment, and the school encourages families to visit the Sungai Buloh campus before applying. Contact the admissions office to confirm availability and any English language support.
