About this school
Garden International School (GIS) was founded in 1951 as Garden School in Kuala Lumpur's Lake Gardens, with 33 pupils and two British teachers, and is one of the oldest British international schools in Malaysia. It added secondary education in 1965, moved to a purpose-built campus in Cheras in 1982, when it adopted the "International" name, and relocated to its current Mont Kiara campus in 1996.
GIS introduced the IGCSE in 1998 and launched a Sixth Form with Cambridge A Levels in 2000. It now has more than 2,000 students from over 30 nationalities across:
- An Early Years Centre in Desa Sri Hartamas with a nature-inspired outdoor classroom
- Primary, Secondary and Sixth Form on the Mont Kiara campus
The school was accredited by ECIS in 2002, became an Apple Distinguished School, and in 2022 was named a GL Centre of Excellence. Facilities include an arts centre and a sports complex opened in 2025 with an Olympic-size pool, indoor and tennis courts and a fitness suite, with a performing arts centre planned. GIS is part of Taylor's Schools.
