About international schools in Malaysia
IB international schools in Malaysia commonly deliver one or more parts of the IB continuum - the Primary Years (PYP), Middle Years (MYP) and Diploma Programme (DP), and some also offer the Career-related Programme (CP). English is the usual medium of instruction while Malay and Mandarin are widely taught as additional languages and some schools run bilingual or strengthened mother-tongue pathways. Annual tuition varies a lot by location and school model: typical international-school fees cluster around MYR 32,000 a year, but IB provision is often at the upper end of local fee bands and you will find schools charging from the low tens of thousands of ringgit up to well over MYR 100,000 for premium campuses and boarding options. Admissions commonly centre on main intakes in January and August though many schools operate rolling entry for particular year groups; relocating families should check Student Pass/visa rules and request a full first-year, all-in fee schedule and details of English-support programmes before committing to a place.
