Maple Leaf Kingsley International School teaches around 2,500 pupils aged 3–18 through the British curriculum from its campus in Subang Jaya. Founded locally in 2011 as Kingsley International, it later joined the Maple Leaf network, and parents and pupils still mostly call it Kingsley. The school holds Council of International Schools accreditation, reports a 100 per cent IGCSE pass rate, and is led by chief executive Ellis Lee, who also heads Kingsley Edugroup.

Parent comment is warm and consistent. Teachers are described as dedicated and individually attentive, and management as approachable, keeping families informed about progress and homework; one parent called the leadership "highly supportive and approachable". The school's emphasis on a bully-free environment comes up repeatedly, alongside praise for character development and a strong sense of community. One parent, ten years with the school, said they had "only great things to say". Facilities draw specific mentions, including a pool one parent called "the most beautiful swimming pool compared to other International schools".

  • The school operates as Kingsley International, joining the Maple Leaf network in Malaysia after a local founding in 2011. Parents and pupils still describe it primarily as Kingsley.
  • Recurring praise focuses on dedicated teachers, an approachable management team, and a strong sense of community. One parent said the management is "highly supportive and approachable"; a long-tenured parent said "I have been attached to this school for 10 years and I have only great things to say."
  • Anti-bullying culture comes up repeatedly across Kiddy123 and Edarabia reviews, alongside praise for character development and individual attention from teachers.
  • Facilities draw specific positive mentions, including a pool that one parent said is "the most beautiful swimming pool compared to other International schools."
  • Reviews skew strongly positive; the public pool is consistent but mostly testimonial in tone, so weight as a soft signal rather than a verdict.
