Taylor's International School Kuala Lumpur

About Taylor’s International School Kuala Lumpur

Taylor’s International School Kuala Lumpur (TISKL) operates from Taman Maluri in Cheras, serving students from Early Years through Secondary. The school is part of the Taylor’s Education Group and follows a British international curriculum with a distinctive Bilingual Programme that develops English and Mandarin proficiency from Reception through Year 2.

TISKL is one of two Taylor’s International School campuses, alongside the Puchong campus. Both deliver the same curriculum framework, giving families in different parts of the Klang Valley access to the Taylor’s approach.

Curriculum at Taylor’s International School KL

TISKL delivers a British international curriculum across three stages. The International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) covers the youngest learners, emphasising play-based and inquiry-driven learning. The International Primary Curriculum (IPC) builds on this foundation for primary students, delivering thematic, cross-curricular learning.

At the secondary level, students follow the British curriculum leading to Cambridge IGCSE qualifications. The school promotes trilingual proficiency in English, Bahasa Malaysia, and Mandarin.

The Bilingual Programme (English/Mandarin) is a distinctive feature for Reception to Year 2 students, providing structured dual-language immersion during the foundational years.

What’s Included and What’s Extra at TISKL Early Years

Annual tuition at TISKL covers classroom teaching at the Taman Maluri campus in Cheras, dedicated Early Years classrooms, the Bilingual Programme (Reception only at this stage), library access, basic learning materials, and core stationery. Families pay a one-time application fee of RM 1,000 (payable by credit or debit card on online application) and a registration fee of RM 5,000 at Early Years level. A refundable deposit of RM 2,000 is collected on enrolment. First-year cash outlay totals approximately RM 27,080 (one-time fees of RM 8,000 plus annual tuition of RM 19,080).

Curriculum and Daily Structure at the TISKL Early Years Centre

TISKL’s Early Years programme follows the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC), a UK-developed framework recognised by the International Curriculum Association (ICA) for high-quality implementation at both Taylor’s campuses. The IEYC organises Early Years learning around four strands: personal social and emotional development, communication and literacy, enquiry, and health and physical development. Children transition into the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) at Year 1. Trilingual exposure runs through the daily programme with English as the main language of instruction alongside Mandarin and Bahasa Malaysia delivered via songs, storytelling, and role-play. The Bilingual Programme (English and Mandarin) becomes structured from Reception onwards through Year 2, with dedicated Mandarin teaching alongside English-medium subject delivery. Parent engagement runs through the Seesaw app for real-time learning updates.

How TISKL Kindergarten Fees Compare to Other Cheras Kindergartens

Taylor’s International School at RM 19,080 sits in the affordable-to-mid tier of Cheras kindergartens. UCSI International School Kuala Lumpur in Taman Taynton View Cheras is the closest geographic and curricular peer at around RM 20,400 per year for Early Years, also using the IEYC framework. Rocklin International School Cheras at RM 32,000 for Pre-K is the next-tier American option. Sri KDU International School in Kota Damansara opens at RM 20,610 entry tier. Sri Bestari International School in KL uses IEYC plus Cambridge Primary at a similar fee band. What sets TISKL apart in Cheras is the Taylor’s Education Group pathway from Early Years through Taylor’s College and Taylor’s University, plus a formal Bilingual Programme from Reception.

Registration and Admissions for Early Years at TISKL

Applications are submitted online via the TISKL admissions portal. Required documents include the child’s birth certificate, immunisation records, and previous preschool reports where applicable. The non-refundable application fee of RM 1,000 is paid by credit or debit card on application submission. Nursery and Reception candidates attend a settling-in playdate at the Cheras campus, while Year 1 entrants from age 6 onwards complete an age-appropriate developmental assessment. Once a place is offered, families pay the RM 5,000 Early Years registration fee and the RM 2,000 refundable deposit. The school operates rolling admissions across three terms in the August to June academic calendar. EAL support is integrated for non-native English speakers at +10 percent of tuition from January 2026.

Is SST Charged on Taylor’s International School Kuala Lumpur Kindergarten Fees?

No. Annual tuition at RM 19,080 for Nursery and Reception falls well below the RM 60,000 SST threshold introduced by the Malaysian Government in September 2025, so 6 percent Service Tax does not apply on TISKL Early Years tuition. SST may apply on specific service line items such as transport, catering, or external co-curricular charges depending on TISKL’s bursar invoicing practice. For a wider Cheras and Klang Valley comparison, TISKL sits on the international kindergarten fees hub alongside the affordable Tenby Setia Ecohill, mid-tier Rocklin Cheras, and premium Garden Sri Hartamas.
