Bad experiences with the unethical and unprofessional management. Lynne was great! Pay more than public school but same level as public school (maybe worse).

We were asked to post good reviews of TISKL. I’m going to be honestly blunt with my review. If academics is an important requirement when you’re considering a school for your child, TISKL is not the school for you. TISKL used to be a good school but post pandemic, and with changes in management, things have not been as good as it used to be. There used to be 7 classes per year group but the number of classes has been reduced as many students have left the school. The majority of the students here are locals (Malaysian) and the expat students only form a small percentage, therefore the decline in student population is not due to the expat students moving to their home country but more to the fact that the local students have moved to other schools. To prospective parents, everything looks good on the website, social media and during TISKL open week. TISKL has a sister school in Puchong. Same fees structure for both schools but facilities wise, TISKL is lacking. If you’re expecting an international school with impressive facilities, eg: a swimming pool, students of TISKL are still waiting for the promised pool. Football field is huge but when it rains, the field retains water. Additionally, the quality of food in the cafeteria is poor. There have been many instances whereby maggots/flies were found in the food. Also be prepared to face the never ending traffic situation especially during pickup time in the afternoon. Bullying cases exist in almost every year group. My child was a victim of a few bullying incidents. I know many parents of TISKL Primary whose children were victims. To prospective parents considering TISKL, please do proper research before you decide to enrol your child. Do get feedback from existing parents and students. Assessment wise, I strongly believe that the students needs to be assessed via actual exams.The grading system for TISKL needs to be changed. The school started the GL assessment last year for English and Maths. When I got the results, the comments were exactly the same as the comments my friend’s child received and my they were in a different year group. The teachers “copy paste” comments and just changed names. For last year’s end of year award for TISKL Primary, there was no award for the best student for Islamic Studies or PSHE. When I asked the Executive Principal, he laughed and said if the school was to have an award for every subject, the ceremony will take up the entire day. As a Muslim, I found that remark very insulting and bigoted. My daughter’s Islamic Studies teacher (bless her kind heart) actually uses her own money to buy gifts for the best students for Islamic Studies every year. I’m just sharing what I know and have experienced personally as an existing TISKL parent (who’ll be taking her child out of TISKL by term end) so that any future prospective parents considering TISKL for their child will give due thoughts and conduct their own due diligence. All the best prospective parents.

My daughter was miserable bc she was ostracised by old new students when She joined the school. She told the teachers who Did nothing at all. My son didn't do homework but no teacher informed and i Found out when I saw his mid term results. He was put in advanced Chinese class when he struggled to even read homework instructions in mandarin to Do his homework. Teacher did not even consider moving him to intermediate Chinese. Moved both children out from the toxic school environment. Kids are now so much happier in new school. Stay away from TISKL. Not a good school for the price you hv to pay !!

Wonderful school. Academic focus is high. Good blend of extracurricular activities. The school has very well managed the transition to online classes during the ongoing pandemic

Provides good leaning environment. The teachers have good experiences in teaching,have high expectations from the kids and will support their learning. The staffs and the community in the school are all friendly and very supportive. Its really feels like a family. My children love the curriculum and are fully engaged. The fees last but not least is reasonable and affortable.

Really really unaffordable. They don't do anything about bullying. Their teachers are very rude. Their school fees cost 30,000 for 1 term! They say they have 'RECIPE' which means R.espect E.xellence C.ommunication I.ntegrity P.assion E.njoyable environment. They have none of that, no respect, no enjoyable environment and all.

Tuition is not expensive in the city of Kuala Lumpur, even if there is only 20% of international teachers, but you get what you paid for. The teachers are mostly Chinese malaysians, indians and malays who have studied abroad. The courses include kids garten, primary school and middle school
