Dr. Norma J Hudson
Head of School
The International School of Kuala Lumpur.
Welcome to ISKL! The International School of Kuala Lumpur is a wonderful mission-driven, student focussed school
that provides exceptional educational, cultural, and social opportunities for students. As a truly community school, ISKL
embraces a culture that is welcoming to students, parents, faculty, and staff members. As you review the prospectus
information, I trust that you will find through the various pictures and articles a school that lives up to its mission
of providing "an exceptional education that challenges each student to develop the attitudes, skills, knowledge and
understanding to become a highly successful, spirited, and socially responsible global citizen."
When you first walk onto the campus, whether at Ampang or Melawati, the culture of caring and compassion that
exists throughout ISKL is evident. Our motivated students are actively engaged in learning and our caring teachers
are dedicated to positively impacting student learning by using best practices, so that students will "walk in a
harmonious environment where care follows closely behind; learning is stimulated, curiosity is sparked, vision is cultivated, and action is inspired"...our vision for ISKL students.
ISKL provides a myriad of opportunities for students from over 60 different nations throughout the world. With an emphasis on educating the whole child,
students at ISKL participate in an academically rigorous and enriched programme that also provides a broad range of opportunities in curricular and
extracurricular activities. Our programmes are structured to meet the differing needs of students in a safe environment where diversity is honoured. ISKL
students reach out to serve others through various programmes, such as our Global Action Program (GAP), Malaysia Week, or Red Hats. These programmes
help support our students in being outstanding global citizens. Additionally, ISKL demonstrates a broad range of care by a dedicated staff, excellent
educators, and supportive parents who work together to create an environment that supports our mission, vision and school-wide learning results (SLRs).
ISKL is certainly a special place with "big school opportunities and a small school feel"! Welcome to our community !
No one should negotiate their dreams. Dreams must be free to fly high. No government, no legislature, has a right to limit your dreams. You should never agree to surrender your dreams.

"Honor among thieves"
If someone says there is honor among thieves, this means that even corrupt or bad people sometimes have a sense of honor or integrity, or justice, even if it is skewed. ('Honour among thieves' is the British English version.
