Admissions
Admission runs on a rolling basis across the academic year, and the Subang Jaya campus can often take pupils mid year where places exist. Assessment is age appropriate, combining a placement check in English and mathematics with previous school reports, and the school asks for prior records at application. Families relocating to the Klang Valley should make contact early to confirm the right campus and year group, particularly if the IB Diploma at Springhill is the goal, since that involves a different site.
Location and who goes there
The Subang Jaya campus is in the established township of the same name in the Klang Valley, south west of central Kuala Lumpur, a busy residential and commercial area with strong road and rail links. It serves families across Subang Jaya, Petaling Jaya and the surrounding western suburbs. The group's Springhill campus is well outside the city on the Negeri Sembilan coast, which is why the two sites suit different families.
