Regent International School Klang Kuala Lumpur
The school follows the British curriculum system and emphasizes holistic education with co curricular activities and physical education programs aligned to global standards. Located in the Klang area outside central Kuala Lumpur, it serves families in the western suburbs of the Greater KL region.
In brief
Regent International School Klang has taught the British curriculum since 2011 and now enrols around 1,500 pupils aged 5–18, with accreditation from the Council of International Schools and NEASC. Dr Jeffery Louis leads the school after more than 38 years in education, including the headship of Melaka International School and leadership roles in the UCSI Schools Group. In 2024, seven pupils earned IGCSE top-scorer awards in Mandarin and two in Mathematics. Annual fees rise from MYR 12,000 in Year 1 to MYR 19,000 in Year 11.
Parent comment is warmest about teaching that delivers measurable progress. Early-years language support and academic coaching draw repeated credit: one parent said their daughter showed "immense improvement in her speaking and grammatical skills" within a year, and another credited extra Maths coaching for stronger exam results. Dance, STEM, gardening and robotics activities earn approving mentions, and reviews describe approachable teachers and a warm community feel.
One parent reported poor bookkeeping and difficulty recovering the school's refundable security deposit, set at MYR 5,000, saying there were no proper records of payments.

Reviews
- Independent review pool is small but consistently positive. ISD shows a middling average across three reviews; ischooladvisor and Edarabia carry similar parent comments.
- Recurring strengths are language support from early years and academic coaching that delivers. One parent said their daughter showed "immense improvement in her speaking and grammatical skills" inside a year. Another credited extra Maths coaching for stronger exam outcomes.
- Extracurriculars draw repeated mentions: dance, STEM, gardening, robotics.
- One parent flagged poor bookkeeping and difficulty recovering security deposit refunds, with no proper records of payments. This is the only persistent negative.
- A 2015 expat.com forum complaint about a broken school website is now stale; the current site is functional.
