Hello All,
After much trolling through old posts I thought I'd ask the same question again as reputations of KL schools seem to be ever changing!
Our son is 5 in March and we are looking for a school for intake in August / September 2015. We are from the UK and he will eventually end up back in the UK (we suspect anyway), so we have ruled out all schools with a non-British curriculum. We are also paying the fees ourselves (for now anyway). Although we are coming from India where he has been in an Indian pre-school; an Indian school is NOT an option. My husbands office is near the Tropicana Mall in Petaling Jaya.
So our criteria are -
1. Near-ish to his office (will find accommodation accordingly)
2. British Curriculum
3. Should have a good reputation and results (what is the feedback on the schools suggested near his work place, saw points made of racism at Alice Smith but cannot find any real evidence to support that)
4. Do they warrant the high price that many schools in KL seem to charge (despite often terrible feedback)
We have shortlisted Alice Smith and the British School, KL. We have also been recommended Tenby, elc (have reservations about elc), Taylors and the International School @ Desa Park.
I believe waiting lists can be very long and we are not joining my husband till March of next year, so am keen to gather as much information as possible in the mean time. Thank you!
