The Alice Smith School

About The Alice Smith School

Founded in 1946, Alice Smith School holds the distinction of being the oldest British international school in Southeast Asia. The Seri Kembangan campus opened to serve secondary students from Year 7 through Year 13, complementing the primary campus at Jalan Bellamy in central Kuala Lumpur. Between both sites, the school enrols around 1,500 to 1,600 students drawn from 53 nationalities, with a deliberate cap of 15 students per year group to keep class sizes small.

Alice Smith operates as a not-for-profit institution, meaning surplus revenue is reinvested into the school rather than distributed to shareholders. This structure is unusual among Malaysian international schools and contributes to the school’s long-standing stability. The school holds accreditation from CIS, COBIS, and Cambridge Assessment International Education.
