M’KIS is a close-knit community school where personalized attention is driven by the unique attributes of each family. We are brought together by academics, and are united by our unique family values. Everyone at M’KIS works together to promote cultural awareness, diversity, environmental awareness, support services and volunteer initiatives through our work with communities in need. As we look towards the future, we continue to provide a positive school climate that supports the well-being of the M’KIS community.

M’KIS is much more than an excellent educational institution. It is a supportive, close-knit community school dedicated to bringing out the best in each child and each family through a holistic approach. With a world-class curriculum, dynamic teachers from across the globe, and students from more than 50 countries, we are a top choice for families seeking an international education for their child.

M’KIS was founded with the mission to put students and families at the heart of our educational approach. We believe in nurturing not just academic excellence, but intellectual curiosity and a deep appreciation for community by enhancing the creative, emotional, social and academic talents of the individual child. Throughout our school community, we value a sense of:

Belonging and Connection

Kindness and Compassion

Excellence and Positivity

Our Beginning

On August 20, 1994, Mont’Kiara International School (M’KIS) opened its doors for the first time. With a handful of students and teachers in the heart of a suburb that had yet to truly take shape, the endeavor was a leap of faith.

The M’KIS story has always been about striving for excellence. From the day we welcomed our first students, we have dedicated ourselves to building a future we can all be proud of.

Celebrating Growth

M’KIS celebrated its first graduating class in 2001, one year after becoming an International Baccalaureate World School. Since then, we have proudly celebrated countless achievements, both in the classroom and beyond our school gates.

M’KIS has grown into a diverse school that prepares students for the demands of an increasingly complex world. Supported by engaged and passionate parents, we empower our students to become kind, thoughtful, and transformative leaders of tomorrow.

As our school has grown, Mont’Kiara has matured and flourished into one of the most sought after locations in Kuala Lumpur. M’KIS is a vital part of this booming neighborhood, and continues to grow alongside our Mont’Kiara families.

Looking Forward

Over the last 28 years, we’ve undertaken ambitious campus improvement projects including new athletic and playground facilities, investments in technology and innovation, and a dedication to expanding creative and performing arts spaces.

But perhaps our biggest achievement is nurturing a close-knit community of students, staff, teachers, parents, and alumni who have made M’KIS the unique place it is today. While honoring our history, we are excited about continuing to build on our legacy of excellence while welcoming families from across the world.
