Garden International School Garden International School is
currently the largest private, co-educational, international school in
Malaysia offering a British-style curriculum for students from Early
Years to 'A' Level. The school was established in 1951 to provide
British-style education to the expatriate and local community in Kuala
Lumpur. Since then the school has undergone a period of sustained
development. It moved to a purpose built campus in 1996 which has since
been extended by the addition of a seven-storey arts building. The
school is situated on two sites, the main campus in Kuala Lumpur and a
small Primary school campus in Kuantan, on the East coast of Malaysia.
In total, the school has students from over 58 nationalities. Teaching
staff are mainly recruited from the United Kingdom, Australia and from
Malaysia itself. Facilities on the main campus include over six hundred
networked computers, seven science laboratories, extensive Performing
Arts facilities, performance hall, visual arts studios, ten ICT suites,
a sports hall, an Astroturf court, 25-metre swimming pool and two
cafeterias. The Garden International School follows the guidelines of
the National Curriculum for England up to Year 9 and from then on
follows a curriculum that leads to Cambridge IGCSE examinations and
Cambridge 'A' Level. A wide range of subjects are available at 'A' level
and students move from these courses to enter universities worldwide.
Impressive academic results are achieved at all levels. In addition
specialist English as Additional Language provision is available to
