In Brief
Ace Edventure Biosphere Academy is a distinctive STEM-focused international school that opened in 2016, offering Cambridge curriculum through to IB Diploma with strong environmental integration. With fees significantly lower than KL's elite schools while maintaining solid IB results (34.2 average), it provides good value for families seeking specialized science education with sustainability focus.
Located in Bangsar South on a purpose-built 5-acre campus, AEBA centers its education around a unique biosphere dome and extensive STEM facilities including hydroponics farms, drone labs, and AI-integrated classrooms. The school follows Cambridge International curriculum from primary through IGCSE, then transitions to IB Diploma exclusively - they phased out A-Levels in 2019. With 850 students from 45+ nationalities, the school maintains a diverse international community while keeping a strong focus on science and technology education.
Recent IB results show the school punching above its weight academically, with 85% of students scoring 35+ points and 100% pass rates. The school has gained recognition through VEX Robotics championships and achieved 98% university progression rates, with many graduates heading to top STEM programs at universities like University of Toronto, Imperial College London, and NUS Singapore. The 2026 opening of their new AI & Biotech wing demonstrates continued investment in specialized facilities that set them apart from traditional international schools in KL.
