It is my pleasure to welcome you to Alice Smith. We are a dynamic, leading, not for profit international school community in Kuala Lumpur, with a global reputation and track record for providing an outstanding education. We are committed to academic excellence, achieved through a rich and challenging curriculum and nurturing the personal growth and development of every child in all aspects of their learning.
We are passionate about the difference we make in the lives of our students and families and proud of our unique history as the first British international school in Malaysia. The exceptional quality of learning and teaching, the diverse range of learning opportunities, the culture of excellent student achievement and agency, the depth of staff professionalism and the outstanding governance and community engagement all contribute to make our school a wonderful place to belong to and are the foundations for our students’ bright futures. We have a shared safeguarding culture which places our students and their agency, dignity and safety at the centre of everything we do. We, as adults, ensure that each other contribute to this environment safely and appropriately. We take great pride in nurturing the quality of relationships that exist between staff, students and parents. We understand that this three-way partnership is the key to our purpose and success.
Our students are at the heart of everything we do. Our students have a genuine love of learning and are taught by dedicated teachers who believe in personalised learning to get the best out of each and every student. The strength of these relationships enables each child to thrive academically, socially, physically and emotionally.
Year on year, our students attain the highest levels in external examinations and are successful at gaining places at the best universities in the world. Students are gracious, caring and mature, fostering an excellent rapport with their teachers, other staff and peers. A learning culture of high performance is embedded across our community, with ambitious expectations for all students. This is supported by students holding high expectations of each other.
As we are ‘not for profit’, all of the revenue from school fees is invested in the future of the children and maintaining and developing the quality of the school’s educational offering, facilities and resources. We are the only British international school in Kuala Lumpur which is 'not for profit', with two wonderful campuses, Primary and Secondary, providing world-class facilities and an abundance of green, open spaces.
Come and join us. Whether you are a student, teacher or parent, joining the Alice Smith School community will ensure you feel part of something very special. If you are reading this as someone who doesn’t know Alice Smith, I would encourage you to come to our school to meet our community and to see us and this extraordinary place in action.
