Commute to Subang

ISKL - Ukay Perdana or Beverly Heights or KLCC north  (still a lot of traffic to get through KL) - not a good option
Alice Smith - Brickfields (Indian Quarter) or Bangsar
Garden Intl - Mont Kiara or Sri Hartamas or Bandar Utama or Taman Tun Dr Ismail (mainly middle class family areas)

Checking out the different curriculae offered to see how they fit with current schooling would be a good idea e.g. Garden School uses a USA education system. How will her education continue when you leave Malaysia?

Mont Kiara/One Utama are closest to your work place and about equidistant to Garden Int.

You have not mentioned the British International School - it really is worth a good look and their fees and costs are better. It is also located on the "right side" of town.

First you should check if schools have spaces for the year required. This is often a problem.

Check the fees as well (and hidden costs)

Hidden costs of schools

Thanks a lot, Gravitas. Isn't Garden, a British Curriculum School? I see they follow IPC and IGCSE. Am I missing something?

With regards to The British International School, we have it in our list, but I missed mentioning it. Thanks.

Yes, I read that many of these schools have waitlist depending on the class and the time that we seek admission. We will be moving to KL only in July next year. Can I check for the availability now? Is it too early?

Is there a link where I can check the fees and hidden costs for all these schools. The link given by you does not open.

Thanks again!

It is best to check availability of places as early as possible. Although it may mean you have to pay an application fee to secure a place (hence read the article sent to your PM about hidden costs). Also need to ask how long the reservation of a place is valid to avoid having to repay the fee at some point.

Sorry I was thinking of Mont Kiara International School. I heard that both are rather clicky and elitist and of course Garden is the largest school in Asia (in total over 2,000 pupils!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

There are definitely better options. I think they are doing a lot of building works there and it is right on a major highway (below the road level) and surrounded by high rise
