For 60 years, The International School of Kuala Lumpur (ISKL) has been more than just a place of learning; it has been a second home for generations of globally mobile families. Founded in 1965 with 48 students learning in the Istana on Jalan Maxwell, ISKL has remained proudly rooted in the heart of the city, deeply connected to its host country, Malaysia. Today, it is a dynamic international school of over 1,800 students on a purpose-built, 25-acre campus in Ampang Hilir located near the iconic Petronas Twin Towers.
