The school offers both the Malaysian National Curriculum and the British IGCSE pathway, catering to students aged 4 to 16. English is the main language of instruction, with additional classes in Bahasa Melayu and Mandarin. LIS is co-educational and offers boarding facilities. Class sizes are capped at approximately 23–25 students, supporting close student-teacher interaction. The campus features a swimming pool, tennis courts, science labs, and a multipurpose hall.
