I would like to know if anyone here send their kids to private schools (secondary) and how do you rate them ?
I am in the midst of researching but am still searching for the one that i can actually afford ( less than 30k per year )

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

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.

Have a look at Wesley Methodist School at Sentul  , if  you child can get in.

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

Yeah, unfortunately i called them earlier (wendy picked up) and said i have to enroll by this weekend for 2020 semester. i am like, WTF ? i don't think i can make it liao....

most probably i will go to either  ( in no order)
1) R.E.A.L. SChool
2) Cempaka
3) Beaconhouse

my 1st choice is sunway international school but after looking at their fees, i can't afford it ( 36+K per year )

Actually why not send your kid to Cluster School in SMJK/SMK?
Your kid no UPSR?

SMJK Katholik PJ / SMK Methodist KL / SMK St John Institute so far are good in the KL Region.

Hi bro, yes my kid is sitting for UPSR this year but wanted to give them something we didn't have.
BTW. What is cluster school ?

Cluster School - School that is well Academic/Koko Based, recognized for their top education (no idea how it is measured)
Basically a school where students are highly competitive in both extra-curricular and academic based.

For Selangor schools should be these :

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8SHpR9FcP...FVhTDBmNEU/edit

These schools offers the most "value" in their education as teachers and students are both dedicated in their teaching and learning.
While not neglecting the budget spending in doing extra-curricular activities.

I personally think that it is a waste of money spending yours hard earn money into private education sector.
And let your kid end up in tuition center eventually also.

Might as well, dump them in a high competitive school, and use tuition center as top up. laugh.gif
If your kid want jump SPM by 1 year, if your kid can do IGCSE during Form 4 as private candidate if he can cram Form 4/5 syllabus at one go in a year.
