I was a student in Fairview and finished my University of London O Levels there in 1981. I was part of the original batch of 19 students , most of us had followed our year teachers from Garden International when the parents and teachers had a dispute with the Principal of GI and left to form Fairview. The original teachers who formed Fairview were the best I ever had. The original school was just a rented bungalow facing the General Hospital, we did not have much in the way of facilities. Even our football field was 'borrowed' from the neighboring local school. ( we used an old vollyball to play football with back then, it was all we had) when we moved to the 2nd building The one on Jalan Ampang near the army camp., we students volunteered to clean and help paint it because the school was short of funding. we did it because we were proud of the fact that it was OUR school! Regardless of the lack of facilities ( back then we were seen as the runt of the international school litter. so to speak) The teachers and us students were content with what we had, we were like a small family almost, it was a close friendly relationship between us and our teachers, based on mutual respect. We learned more than just academics, we grew up. Looking back now I think we really enjoyed our school life. the teachers, classmates; In a way, the entire experience was somehow romantically colonial in its innocence and charm. (rose tinted glasses perhaps? im 47 now!) It saddens me to think that from our happy and humble beginnings. the school has transformed into such a big entity with such a bad name... The shame... and to think. when I returned a few years after my college years in the UK to see the old school; (actually it was the 2nd, the original was a small bungalow ) it had already changed for the worst.. fenced in yards, some unfriendly English principal. The only good thing to come from that visit was meeting my old Geography teacher (and former headmistress) who said our class year was the best the school had had. Times haven't changed for the better it seems. - Old Boy It is indeed sad and even tragic that such a school is allowed to operate in Malaysia. The Chairman, Mr. Daniel Chian is indeed a deceptive greedyman who together with his children, took education as a mean for wealth seeking and true education is clearly not in their mind. IB is being abused by not having qualified teaching staff and children's safety is compromised by having to study by and under a building under construction for many months in 2012. All sorts of crooked means were deployed, such as changing school semester system in 2013 to make it difficult for parents to move their children without loosing their deposits. If you are not in this trap yet, please look elsewhere as those of us who are unfortunately deceived and trapped are desperately trying to get out.

It has been a year now that I have sent my son to MIGS. I am not too sure of the comments above however, what I notice is that the school has managed to unearth his talents that his former school wasn't able to do so and he loves the school. .however, will check out what was mentioned above. Ah yes, there's no PTA which is a shame. I agree totally - my sentiments exactly. A real rio off

GIIS started on the right note but from 2011 onwards has been going downhill. The key factor in any school are the teachers. In this respect, GIIS has failed to attract good teachers and there is a high turnover of teachers. Such a waste. Since the fees of School is so high, and there are no playgounds, no airconditioner. So, Air conditioners should be initated in the scholl from next session for childern's comfortablility.

I am wanting to relocate to Kuala Lumpur. I have no job lined up and have my own company which I will not have when I move to KL. How hard will it be for me to find a job? I am not picky as long as its enough to live on and have some spending money and a little time off. How can I go about getting a job considering I dont know anyone and only job experience I have is owner of company.

One of the best international schools we have been. Very indulgent both academics and social aspects of education. There is good care and excellent education. Great community spirit. Highly qualified staff. Very poor attention to students for serious academic studies. Levies and new building charges are imposed arbitrarily. Children are spoiled by asking to bring money to school instead of lunch cards commonly used in other school. ISKL is academically a very poor institution that educated offspring of rich Chinese who want an English education.
