Hibiscus International School

About Hibiscus International School

Hibiscus International School operates from a campus in Kepong Business Park, in the northern suburbs of Kuala Lumpur. The school covers Nursery through Year 11 (IGCSE), using the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) at Key Stage 1 and the Cambridge pathway for secondary students. Instruction is in English, with Malay and Chinese also offered.

The school’s pedagogical approach centres on experiential and contextual learning. Rather than delivering the Cambridge syllabus through traditional lecture-and-textbook methods, Hibiscus integrates real-world contexts and hands-on activities into its lessons. The academic year runs three terms from September to June, following the Northern Hemisphere international school calendar.

Curriculum at Hibiscus International School

At Key Stage 1, Hibiscus follows the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), which uses thematic, cross-curricular units to teach foundational subjects. Each IPC unit connects multiple subject areas through a central theme, building literacy, numeracy, and scientific understanding simultaneously.

From Key Stage 2 onwards, the school transitions to the Cambridge pathway. Secondary students in Year 7 through Year 9 follow the Cambridge Lower Secondary curriculum, then prepare for Cambridge IGCSE examinations in Year 10 and Year 11. The contextual learning approach continues through the secondary years, with project-based and experiential activities woven into the IGCSE preparation.

Languages offered include English (medium of instruction), Bahasa Melayu, and Mandarin Chinese. The three-term September-to-June calendar aligns with international school systems globally, which can be advantageous for families relocating from or to other countries.

Fees at Hibiscus International School

Annual fees at Hibiscus range from RM 21,360 at Nursery level to RM 43,650 for Year 10-11 IGCSE students. The school fees guide explains common ancillary costs beyond tuition.

Year Group	Annual Fees
Nursery	RM 21,360
Year 10-11 (IGCSE)	RM 43,650
Registration fee	RM 2,500 - RM 4,000

Sibling discounts are available: 5% for the second child, 10% for the third, and 15% for the fourth child onwards. For a family with two children enrolled, the 5% discount on the second child’s tuition represents a meaningful annual saving.

Among international schools in Kuala Lumpur, Hibiscus sits in the mid-range. Schools in the Kepong area tend to be priced below the premium campuses in Mont Kiara and Bangsar but above budget international options elsewhere in the city.
