What Sets Alice Smith School Apart From Other International Schools?

What Sets Alice Smith School Apart From Other International Schools?

The Alice Smith School in Kuala Lumpur provides an outstanding international education, and has done for the last 70 years. Our ethos is all about diversity, community and caring for pupils and parents alike, because we believe this builds a solid foundation for a fantastic schooling experience.

An exemplary British curriculum

Each student that attends Alice Smith School receives an internationally recognised education.

As a Tier 1 school in Malaysia, we pride ourselves on the quality of our robust curriculum, which has been modelled on the English National Curriculum. It covers essential subjects such as Sciences, Languages and Mathematics whilst offering other courses like sports, theatre, musical arts and so on.

The breadth of these subjects ensures that students are exposed to new opportunities to discover their skills, passions and talents whilst also learning essential material that will help them gain entry to top universities across the world.

We also keep with the times; our curriculum undergoes changes and development in line with the latest research and standards for teaching. This means that we’re uniquely positioned to offer a competitive, engaging learning environment for our students.

High quality teachers from around the world

Because of our excellent facilities and our world-class curriculum, we attract top teachers from around the world to our staff base. The talent of our staff is inherently linked to the quality of our teaching, as many have worked in the UK teaching the very curriculum ours is based on.

This enables students to receive an education they would have received had they studied in the UK, but in an international setting.

We perform quality assurance tests recognised by COBIS (Council of British International Schools Overseas) in order to maintain the performance of our teaching staff. We have also received the UK Institute of Education’s Professional Development Quality Mark – another sign of our commitment to excellence.

At Alice Smith, we not only invest in our facilities, but we consistently invest in developing staff skillsets. We believe teachers make lasting impressions on students for years to come, and so it is equally as important as other investments we make into our school for the student’s benefit.

Students are nurtured to be well-rounded individuals

Alice Smith School’s students aren’t simply taught subject matter either. A good school encourages and nurtures students to get good results and progression to university, but a truly great school like Alice Smith will go that step further.

Our students get the opportunity to create lifelong memories in a diverse environment, so they can feel like they were a part of something unique, special and meaningful, with friendships that will enrich their lives.

Each Alice Smith student is treated as an individual, and we focus on developing 6 core attributes in our students. Our students are nurtured to be happy, healthy, respectful, community minded individuals with good communication and problem-solving skills and the ability to learn independently.

We are always looking for ways to motivate students to achieve their desires and utilise their skills to the fullest. Students are rewarded for their commitment to their studies and extracurricular activities through our Colours award system, which helps motivate them.

Our core values of connectedness, kindness, respect, integrity and resilience are what makes our school so special and uniquely positioned to offer children the very best start to the rest of their lives.
