Nord Anglia Global Campus takes education beyond the classroom. Bringing together our 69 schools around the world, it is a fundamental part of how we teach our students to be truly global citizens. The highly personalised learning platform provides a safe space for students to connect and collaborate with each other, and offers a huge variety of engaging extra-curricular activities. It is an essential part of how BSKL students explore independent learning.

Whether in the classroom or learning with us through our virtual school - each individual student, their unique learning journey and their academic goals are at the heart of what we do.

Moving to a new school can be a daunting experience, particularly if this involves settling into a new country and culture. At The British International School of Kuala Lumpur, we pride ourselves on providing a warm and welcoming environment. 95% of parents say their child is happy at our school and happiness is something we continuously strive for. Our transition programme has been designed to support new students and their families through each step of the process.

Starting school mid-year is surprisingly common, especially in international schools where families come and go more frequently. However, here at The British International School of Kuala Lumpur, we understand moving schools mid-year can be difficult and parents are likely to have some concerns such as, ‘Will my child be able to catch up with the work?’; ‘Will my child make friends easily?’; and ‘How will my family fit into the school community?’

Wherever your family is in the world right now, we look forward to welcoming your child into their classroom through our Nord Anglia Virtual School Experience. Here are our parent top five tips for supporting your child during their Virtual School Experience.

We've caught up with Crystal Shin, one of our 2019 Year 11 alumni. Crystal joined us in 2015 as a Year 8 student and left with an incredible set of IGCSE results last summer: in nine of her subjects, Crystal achieved grade A* or Level 9. In this brief interview, Crystal gives some advice to students studying at BSKL with a particular focus on how they can achieve success by building their vocabulary through reading and speaking and, most importantly, how they should believe in themselves.

BSKL has consistently produced outstanding results and the 2018/19 academic year was no different.

The British International School of Kuala Lumpur (BSKL) is one of the top international schools in the country which is noticeably highlighted through its academic success. However, academia is not the only area the school excels in.

Creativity isn’t a trait unique to those who pursue the arts. Educators say it’s a way of thinking that leads to imaginative and unique solutions to all types of real-world problems.

Students learn far more playing in an orchestra than just learning to perfect the sounds of the music on their own.

Learning has shifted from solving a problem with a single, definitive answer to identifying problems in a given situation and offering multiple, possible solutions, Nord Anglia Education, Education Director Andy Puttock says.

Anna Leaman, Head of English, is our teacher in the spotlight this month. Anna has a love for literature and is able to ‘think like a student’ to bring lessons to life. She describes her teaching style as structured, collaborative and fast-paced.
