HI everyone, Have been spending heaps of time trying to research on the net, am hoping someone may be ble to give advice. My husband, myself and three kids ages 5,7 and 9 are moving to KL in August/Sep. My husbands company is paying for schooling ...
Hi everyone, Well we went up on the weekend and looked at Alice Smith and AISM. We have decided on AISM, the School grounds look great and I feel it will be an easier transition for the boys. We looked at a crazy amount of houses and condos and ... Read More

I work in Midvalley...not sure if that means anything to you yet? It's on the edge of the city mean Sentral train station. If you live in Gita Bayu, the commute might be a bit of a pain...lots of traffic coming in. It would probably be 30-40 ... Read More

Alice Smith is excellent, but if there are a lot of people ahead of you, you could be waiting a long time. If you like the Australian schooling system then you could also consider AISM. We send our kids there (although we aren't Australian), the ... Read More
Reaching Schools by Public Transportation (preschools & early years) by Jonathan_O
Hi everyone, I looked hard for this information, but could not find it, so decided to post the question. :) We are European and likely moving to KL this summer for work, for a few years. Work is in KLCC so we will most likely rent there. None of ...
A final option is to hire a personal driver with car, but very few posted about this so i assume its not a popular or easy option? (though would seem more trustworthy/reliable than most taxis). A driver is a popular option here, but generally you ... Read More

REAL International Schools by ericsa
Hi, my family and I are moving to KL soon and need some advice on international schools. We were considering one of the REAL international schools but have heard mixed reports. Could anybody please give us some more information?
Never heard of it! Good schools are British International, ISKL, Nexus, AISM, Alice Smith, Garden International, but they are all pricey. Below that there is another set of schools which are cheaper but may not offer the same quality of ... Read More

Does any one know of any Ballet schools in KL? I'm desperately trying to find my daughter some lessons as she used to do Ballet in the UK and after 4 months of not, her whining is starting to get to me:rolleyes: Close to Bangsar would be good, but ...
She has just turned 7. She's been doing ballet since she was 2 or 3...she's not great at it, but she really loves and we didn't want her to have to give up just because of the move. Good luck with the move. We've been here a year now and love it. Read More

Moving to KL: looking for school and info about accommodation by MarcJ
We're planning a move to KL in July/August next year and I'm looking for information about schools and places to live. I was reading the blog entries about schools on the ELC forum thread and it sounds like some people have had a hideous ...
Hi Marc, Definately a good idea to know which school you will be using before choosing an area to live. Traffic (in some areas) can be a problem. Garden International is in Mont Kiara and has big traffic problems. Personally, i'm not into high-rise, ... Read More
