About Iqra’ International School

Iqra’ International School occupies a 10-storey building on Jalan Kebun Sultan in central Kota Bharu. It is the only English-medium international school in Kelantan that pairs the Cambridge IGCSE pathway with a full Islamic studies programme. That combination fills a gap in Malaysia’s east coast, where most international schools follow secular curricula and most Islamic schools teach in Bahasa Melayu.

The school serves students from early years through secondary level. Instruction is in English, with Arabic and Quranic studies built into the weekly timetable rather than treated as optional extras.

Curriculum at Iqra’ International School

Iqra’ delivers the Cambridge International curriculum leading to IGCSE examinations. Core subjects follow the standard Cambridge framework: English, Mathematics, Sciences, and Humanities. Alongside these, students take Islamic studies, Arabic language, and Quranic recitation as compulsory subjects at every level.

The dual focus means graduates leave with internationally recognised IGCSE qualifications and a grounding in Islamic scholarship. This positions them for further study at both conventional universities and Islamic higher-education institutions in Malaysia and abroad.

Fees at Iqra’ International School

Iqra’ International School has not published its fee schedule online. Kelantan’s cost of living is lower than the Klang Valley, and international school fees in the east coast states tend to sit below the national median. The school fees guide explains how to compare fee structures across different school types.
