Hi

I am Kapil from India.I will be shifting to KL in the month of July 2015. My company has transferred me to Its KL branch. My office is in Bangsar and wish to stay near the office but first priority is school.
My son is 4.5 year old. I am looking for international school with british curriculum ( I hope that after 4 years from now.when i will shift back to India, he would be able to adjust to CBSE curriculum)

My company will pay 90% of tution fees for my kid. Please guide me in selection of school and in turn selection of area to reside.

I have gone thru several related topics in this forum but not able to take a decision.

Regards
Kapil

Its great your employer will pay most of the fees (does that include upfront and one off payments at the beginning?).Did they give you a budget of any kind? I ask because you can get schooling for as little as RM1500 per month or you can pay RM4000k per month or more.

The best English language/curriculum schools are not near Bangsar and that may therefore restrict your choice because of transportation issues. I imagine your office is at Bangsar South? If so there are choices around Brickfields (Sentral Station) including living in Suasana condo, which is a couple of stops away from Bangsar South.

They are mentioned in this Thread (British School is not conveniently near though)

If you intend to drive to work then other choices are available (avoiding traffic issues).
