In Brief
Vikas International School is a CBSE Indian curriculum school founded in 1996, serving Kuala Lumpur's Indian expatriate community with fees under RM20,000. While some parents praise the disciplined environment and friendly staff, reviews reveal concerns about teacher qualifications and high staff turnover.
Located on Jalan Klang Lama, Vikas International School follows the Central Board of Secondary Education curriculum from preschool through secondary levels. Established in 1996, the school positions itself as integrating technology, global perspectives, moral values, and discipline into education for students primarily from Indian expatriate families. The school has recently expanded its offerings to include daycare services, suggesting growth in its early years programming.
Parent testimonials reveal mixed experiences with the institution. Some families appreciate the disciplined environment, describing children as well-mannered and polite, with one parent praising friendly teachers, amazing principal, and wonderful teaching methods. However, critical reviews raise serious concerns about teacher qualifications, describing some staff as 'random housewives with no proper teaching background' and noting frequent teacher turnover every six months. These contrasting perspectives suggest inconsistent quality across different aspects of the school experience.
