About Alice Smith School
Alice Smith School was founded in 1946, making it the oldest British international school in Southeast Asia.

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.
