About Alice Smith School

Alice Smith School was founded in 1946, making it the oldest British international school in Southeast Asia. The Jalan Bellamy campus in central Kuala Lumpur serves as the primary school, covering Early Years through Year 6. The secondary campus at Seri Kembangan handles Years 7 to 13. Together, the two sites enrol around 1,500 to 1,600 students from 53 nationalities, with a deliberate cap of 15 students per year group.

Alice Smith operates as a not-for-profit institution, a structure that distinguishes it from the majority of international schools in Malaysia. Revenue is reinvested into the school rather than distributed to shareholders. The school holds accreditation from CIS, COBIS, and Cambridge Assessment International Education. Its 80-year track record in KL makes it one of the most established education institutions in the country.

Curriculum at Alice Smith School

Alice Smith follows the English National Curriculum delivered through Cambridge International assessments.

Early Years (ages 3 to 5): The programme follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), with structured play and early literacy and numeracy development. The cap of 15 per year group keeps the early years classes intimate.

Primary (Years 1 to 6): Students follow the British primary curriculum with Cambridge Primary assessments. Subjects include English, mathematics, sciences, humanities, languages (including Bahasa Melayu and Mandarin), creative arts, and physical education.

Graduates of the primary campus transition to the Seri Kembangan secondary campus for Cambridge IGCSE and A-Levels.
