Columbia International School Kuala Lumpur
British-curriculum school in Kajang, founded 2015, running Cambridge IGCSEs for ages 5–16.
In brief
Columbia International School teaches a British pathway from Cambridge Primary through to Cambridge IGCSE for pupils aged 5–16 from its campus in Kajang, Selangor. Founded in 2015, the school reports top IGCSE scorers achieving up to eight As, and one parent's account points the same way: their oldest daughter scored eight As at IGCSE.
Parent feedback is consistently positive. Families credit excellent teachers and a comprehensive programme alongside a smooth administrative experience, and describe the Cambridge Primary and IGCSE ladder as a clean, predictable academic route. Parents also point to a holistic approach, with creativity and critical thinking built into the Cambridge framework.
Annual fees run from MYR 13,044 in Years 1 and 2 to MYR 21,990 for the Year 11 science stream, with the arts stream priced slightly below the science stream in the top two years. Parents rate the fees as good value against the rest of the Klang Valley international pool.
