Rocklin International School

About Rocklin International School

Rocklin International School operates from Levels 5 through 9 of Kompleks Permaisuri Queensville in Bandar Sri Permaisuri, Cheras. The school follows the American K-12 curriculum and awards an American diploma at graduation. High School students can take Advanced Placement (AP) courses to earn university credit before leaving school.

Rocklin organises its programme around five learner outcomes: Academic Achievers, Balanced Learners, Critical Thinkers, Dynamic Communicators, and Engaged Global Citizens. These shape both classroom teaching and the co-curricular timetable. The school serves a multicultural student body drawn from the Cheras, Bandar Tun Razak, and greater Kuala Lumpur area.

Curriculum at Rocklin International School

Rocklin International School delivers the American curriculum in three divisions:

• Elementary School: Core instruction in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. Early literacy and numeracy are central.
• Middle School: Subject specialisation with dedicated teachers for each discipline. Students build study skills for the transition to High School.
• High School: A four-year programme with Advanced Placement (AP) options in selected subjects. University guidance runs alongside coursework to prepare students for applications to US, Malaysian, and international universities.

English is the medium of instruction. The university guidance programme helps students navigate standardised testing, personal statements, and admissions timelines. Graduates receive an American diploma that qualifies them for university entry worldwide.

What’s Included and What’s Extra at Rocklin Pre-K

The mandatory curriculum fee of RM 1,100 per semester (RM 2,200 per year) covers prescribed textbooks, learning resources, and digital platforms.

Curriculum and Daily Structure at Rocklin Pre-K

Rocklin’s Pre-K curriculum is anchored by Project AERO, the US State Department Office of Overseas Schools standards used by American international schools globally, alongside the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Mathematics. Pre-K Math introduces whole-number representation, basic shapes, and spatial reasoning per the Common Core early learning standards. Pre-K English Language Arts covers the five strands of reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language. Science follows the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) from Kindergarten onwards. Entry-level assessment is required for Pre-K through Grade 8 to confirm developmental readiness and class placement. The school operates as a College Board AP testing site, meaning Pre-K children sit on a recognised American-pathway ladder that scales to AP coursework in High School.

How Rocklin Pre-K Fees Compare to Other American Kindergartens in KL and Selangor

At RM 32,000 per year for Pre-K, Rocklin sits at the affordable end of American-curriculum kindergartens in the Klang Valley. The closest direct peer is Mont’Kiara International School (MKIS) at around RM 33,280 for Pre-K, but MKIS scales sharply to RM 93,000+ at higher levels and operates a full IB World School pathway. ISKL Prep Reception (age 3) is RM 70,200 per year (more than double Rocklin), Forest City International School Pre-K at RM 65,500, and BSKL Pre-Nursery at RM 56,395. Oasis International School in KL is in the same affordable American tier at around RM 30,000 to RM 45,000 Early Years. Families choosing Rocklin typically prioritise the American framework and AP pathway over campus prestige or premium facilities.

Registration and Admissions for Pre-K at Rocklin

Applications are submitted at the school’s admissions office or via rocklinschool.edu.my. Required documents include the child’s birth certificate, immunisation records, and most recent academic or preschool reports. A non-refundable application fee of RM 1,400 is paid at the time of application. Pre-K candidates complete an entry-level assessment for class placement, accompanied by parent interview and an optional campus tour. Once a place is offered, families pay the RM 400 assessment fee (if not already paid), RM 8,000 registration, and RM 400 records fee, plus the first-semester tuition. The refundable student deposit is charged on permanent placement after the first probationary semester. Sibling discounts of 5 percent to 20 percent apply to tuition for second and subsequent children.

Is SST Charged on Rocklin International School Pre-K Fees?

No. Pre-K tuition at RM 32,000 per year falls below the RM 60,000 SST threshold introduced by the Malaysian Government in September 2025, so 6 percent Service Tax does not apply on Rocklin tuition. Service Tax may apply on individual line items such as the curriculum fee, activity fee, or external service charges depending on Rocklin’s bursar invoicing practice. Rocklin sits in the most-affordable American band on the international kindergarten fees hub, which compares ten named schools from RM 14,400 (Stellar) to RM 119,400 (Marlborough Pre-Prep).
