Cornerstone International School

About Cornerstone International School

Cornerstone International School opened in 2022 in the centre of Johor Bahru, occupying three floors of City Plaza on Jalan Tebrau. With 220 students and a class size of 20, the school is one of the smaller international schools in JB, which it positions as a strength for individual attention. The city-centre location places it within reach of families across the Johor Bahru metropolitan area, including those commuting from the Singapore border corridor.

For a school that is only four years old, Cornerstone has established itself quickly by keeping fees well below the typical international school range in Johor. Annual tuition starts at RM 12,000, which is roughly a third of what many IGCSE schools in the state charge.
