If you are residents of Petaling Jaya, have a look at Nobel International at Kelana Jaya, or Sri KL at Subang Jaya.
Nobel International has discipline its student quite well, and producing quite a number of good academic students.

Yes, labeled as tuition centre, called Pusat Tuisyen Sirius or PTS. They have 2 international schools; namely Sri Emas and Dwi Emas, of course more expensive like about 2x more.

Don't know what facilities you want but the teachers are good and basic essentials are there. Save the money for university education.

I picked out the best nearby SMK, best known Chinese High School in Klang, APIIT international school and PTS. Brought to tour all facilities and hostels where available and let my child decide.

If you can accept your children go clubbing , vape , go collect corpse (son) , asking you to pay for their luxurious hype equipment when they get older (16-19) , then you can send them to international high school (trust me these problems are inevitable unless your children have very good self confidence since young)

*I say self confidence instead of discipline here because I notice many of my ex-primary school classmates who used to be very discipline and being called as good-good-good-boy now lead a very different lifestyle after they went to international high school , I believe they are indirectly influenced by their friends*

Otherwise, go Chinese Private High school , or some reputable public high school.

(reason to trust me: I've just graduated from Chinese high school, having siblings and friends who studied in international's)

I have friends who come from English-background family, studied in Chinese Secondary School until Form 5, and quitted to do A-levels/ADP instead of UEC, and they are performing very well now, one even got offer from Ivy-league. I think this is a good alternative.

Build your children's mindset, instead of grades. Good grades will come eventually. I believe there are plenty of good international secondary schools too, just don't pick those that will lead your children in Zouk club at the end.

No point in sending them there tbh, you want send, send during A-Level.
Tuition centers in Malaysia nowadays are sufficient.

The same organization as MCKL.
I wouldn't trust them ever again, after their A-levels was lecturing system poorly regulated, and they overcharged A-Level fees compared to the rest of the A-Level college market.
But then this is their "College" management, not SPM/O-Level schools

I feel that your case is an isolated case . They are not as bad as what you said.

Depends on how lucky on which type of lecturer you get la like all Private Institution.
Our Education System is always like this.
But MCKL did really overcharged compared to the Market's External A-Level Fees during my time. vmad.gif
They didn't not gave me special AS+A2 retaking pricing, was charged the complete pricing.
This you can validate in the link in my description.

This issues are still prevalent if you read their Confession Pages laugh.gif
