What is the name of your child's school? (Please report on one school per survey.)
Kingsley international school
In what town or city is this school located?
Putra heights
How would you describe this school? (i.e. American, British, International, Local, etc.)
British
What grade levels are represented at this school?
All
How do most children get to school everyday? (bus, train, walk, etc.)
Kids get to school by bus and parents.
How would you describe the facilities at this school? What extra-curricular activities are available?
Extra curricular activities are mostly run by same school teachers and not worth the money you are spending
What has this school done to help your child transition from the curriculum in your home country into the curriculum in your new country? Are there programs to prepare your child for repatriation?
This school has done nothing to help my child. The school claims that they are a "bully free" school but the main teachings from the top down are to BULLY as much as possible. The principal is out of her mind and uses bulling technics with teachers and students. Has no idea how to handle kids and situations that arise daily in school. According to some, she used to be the lunch principal and personally I think she should have stayed as such. Has no clue how to run a school
How would you describe the social activities available for parents through this school? Are there parent-teacher organizations?
There are no PTOs and gossip is the way the school uses to convey messages to parents and teachers.
What advice would you give to someone considering enrolling their child in this school?
I would advise that if your child is a little different than the rest do not choose Kingsley. If a parent wants bulling in the child's life, then u choose Kingsley. They use fear and nasty tactics if they don't like ur kid and they try to make as many reports on ur kid to kick her/him out. They are a bunch of loonies and the top , the principal, is out of her mind. Academics is average , nothing special. I would advise against placing any child in this school and I would question the professionalism and experience of the faculty. This is another mushroom that just came up. No to Kingsley!

lisgeryI think the school is faring very well, as the results from the students have been good. In fact, they are value for money as they concentrate very well in the area of academic and pastoral care. MY children are extremely well taken care of and the school provides very nutritious and fusion food to suit the children.
lisgeryFrankly I think the school has been good to my children. Not all children are the same, and it takes tow to tango. The school works hard and communicates daily with the parents, and it is up to the parents to discuss on what's best for the students. The nutritious food is really mouth watering, and so far, no form of bullying is reported by my children. They love the activities, and teachers are real caring. I suggest, one should not hear say, but to view the school and seek the true view themselves.
QuestjeanI think the school in faring very well, as the results from the students have been good. In fact, they are value for money as they concentrate very well in the area of academic and pastoral care. My children are extremely well taken care of and the school provides very nutritious food and fusion food to suit the children. I am indeed proud and happy that my kids are there.
FourSeasonsI have 2 children who go to the school and so far there have been no complaints by both of them. The school is progressing very well, and many improvements have been made to suit the preferences of the students. Also, ever since my children started going to the school, they often say they would rather go to school than stay at home during holidays! This surprised me as my children always love holidays, but the school successfully managed to change their character. They are happy with the life they have in Kingsley and constantly give positive remarks about their teachers. To anyone who wants a trustworthy school, choose Kingsley!
guestI have had my child sent there for a while. What this parent reported is indeed very true. There is only one decent school in and around Subang area, and this is Sri KL International School. You'll do well if you avoid both Kingsley International School (poor leadership and average teaching quality) and Fairview International School (average academic quality).
