About KYS KL East International School

KYS KL East International School opened in 2023 in the KL East development near Taman Melawati, making it one of the newest international schools in Kuala Lumpur. The school is part of the Kolej Yayasan Saad (KYSM) network, which has its roots in a fully residential school in Melaka known for academic results and English-language proficiency. The KL East campus adapts that foundation into a day-school format with extended hours.

The school’s Day School Concept keeps the campus open from 7am to 7pm, far longer than typical school hours. This extended window accommodates academic classes, co-curricular activities, and supervised study time within a single day, reducing the need for separate tuition or aftercare arrangements. With a capacity of 900 students, the campus has room to grow from its 2023 opening cohort.
