Maple Leaf Kingsley International School

Maple Leaf Kingsley International School is located in Putra Heights, a residential suburb in Subang Jaya, approximately 25 kilometres from the Kuala Lumpur city centre. This area provides a quieter, community-focused setting for the campus. The school is accessible via major highways and is situated near the Putra Heights LRT station, which connects to central Kuala Lumpur.

The school is organised into four main sections; Early Years (ages 3-5), Primary School (Years 1-6), Secondary School (Years 7-11), and Sixth Form (Years 12-13).

The school is a co-educational institution for both day and boarding students. Its boarding house provides accommodation for students from Year 5 (age 9) through to Year 13.

The school has a dedicated Inclusion and Learning Support Department to assist students with mild learning difficulties. Support is provided through in-class assistance, small group withdrawal sessions, and the development of Individual Education Plans (IEPs) in collaboration with teachers and parents. The department aims to help students access the mainstream curriculum effectively.

The school is part of Maple Leaf group which originated in China and was founded on a Canadian model of education.

The school does not have a religious affiliation and operates as a secular institution.

The school day for Primary and Secondary students typically runs from 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM, Monday to Friday, including morning break and lunch times. Early Years students follow a similar schedule but finish earlier at 1:00 PM on Fridays.

The school offers a bus service for students, managed by an appointed transportation company. The air-conditioned buses cover numerous routes across Subang Jaya, Shah Alam, Petaling Jaya, and parts of Kuala Lumpur. All buses are equipped with a "bus parent" to supervise the students during transit.

Maple Leaf Kingsley delivers a British–based curriculum that spans from Nursery through to Sixth Form (A-Levels). From ages 3–5 in the Early Years, students engage in areas such as personal, communication & language, literacy, mathematics, expressive arts, and understanding the world.

In Primary (up to Year 6), the curriculum extends the Early Years programme through multisensory and learner‑led approaches.

Secondary education (Years 7–9) follows the UK National Curriculum, while Years 10 and 11 prepare students for Cambridge IGCSE qualifications.

Finally, the Sixth Form (16–19 years) offers the Cambridge International A‑Levels, requiring five IGCSE/SPM/O‑Level credits as entry requirements.

The school promotes social and emotional learning through a supportive and nurturing environment, with a particular focus on building strong teacher-student relationships. This is supported by a pastoral care system that provides guidance and mentorship to students. The school also emphasizes the development of values such as respect and responsibility to foster a positive school community and the personal growth of students.

Maple Leaf is not a specialist SEN institution but offers support for students with mild to moderate learning difficulties. A dedicated team works with students who have a range of needs, including dyslexia, dyspraxia, and ADHD, providing in-class support and tailored interventions. The school develops individualized plans for students and works in partnership with parents and external specialists to ensure appropriate support.

The school provides support for students for whom English is an additional language. An initial assessment upon entry helps to determine the level of English language proficiency. For students who require it, the school offers an English as an Additional Language (EAL) program to develop their confidence and fluency in English, with the aim of enabling them to fully access the mainstream curriculum.

The school supports student mental wellbeing through its pastoral care system, which includes a dedicated team of staff such as a school counsellor and a Healthcare Coordinator. They take a proactive approach to identify and support students who may need additional help. The school has an open-door policy, allowing students to seek guidance when needed, and initiatives like "Wellbeing Days" and a "Reset Room" provide dedicated time and space for students to focus on their mental health.

Maple Leaf Kingsley International School has a clear commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of its students. The school has a designated Safeguarding Lead and provides annual training to all staff and students to ensure they are aware of their roles and responsibilities in protecting young people from harm. The school has established procedures for reporting concerns and works to maintain a secure environment where students are encouraged to speak up if they have a worry.

The Kingsley school website states that A-Level students receive assistance with scholarship applications and university admissions, including support with UCAS and IELTS preparation. However, it does not provide details of any specific merit-based scholarship structures tied to IGCSE results, such as tuition fee reductions based on the number of high grades achieved.

The school does not mention any waitlist or pool system in its publicly available admissions materials.
