About this school
Malacca Expatriate School (MES) is a registered, not-for-profit, co-educational international school in Melaka. It was founded on 9 June 1980 by educationist A. G. Leon at the request of the state's Chief Education Officer, starting on the top floor of a government school in Bukit Cina with one teacher and fewer than ten pupils. It later moved to Tanjong Kling, joined Cambridge Primary in 2011 and received government approval to open a secondary school the same year.
MES follows the Cambridge curriculum at primary and secondary level. Students take Cambridge Checkpoint assessments at the end of Year 6 and Year 9, then begin a two-year IGCSE course in Year 10 with exams at the end of Year 11. The school is a Cambridge examinations centre, and its academic year runs from September to July.
The school serves both expatriate and local families, keeps a low student-to-teacher ratio and reinvests all funds in the school. Excursions, family day, concerts and drama productions are part of school life.
