OUR ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS

The British International School of Kuala Lumpur is open to children aged 2-18. We accept applications all year round and new students can start at any time.

After making an initial enquiry, you’ll either visit us in person or take a virtual discovery tour. You’ll then fill in an online application form. The final step is to invite your child to an age-appropriate assessment, which will help us get to know them better.

Every family’s application process is different, so we’d encourage you to get in touch with our admissions team to find out how it’ll work for you. They can answer any questions about our entry requirements and talk you through each stage.
