Kedah has two registered private secondary schools: Sekolah Menengah Langkasuka in Gurun and Sekolah Menengah T.m in Alor Setar. Both are small institutions that serve local families in the northern peninsula. Gurun sits along the main north-south corridor between Sungai Petani and Alor Setar, making it accessible from both towns.
For families who want a wider set of options, neighbouring Penang offers additional private and international schools within about an hour’s drive.
