Maple Leaf Kingsley International School was founded in 2011 by Mr. Jeffrey Siew and Madam Susan Tay. It was established as a "homegrown" international school in Malaysia with the aim of providing an education that blends different educational philosophies. The school is now a part of Maple Leaf Educational Systems (MLES), an organisation that operates schools across Asia and was originally founded in 1995 with a model that merged Canadian and Chinese educational approaches.
The school has a diverse community, with a student body composed of both Malaysian and international students from various countries. This multicultural environment is a key aspect of the school's identity. The school encourages community and cultural understanding through various activities and a curriculum that promotes global citizenship. A tradition at the boarding hall involves new students leaving a painted palm print on a wall, creating a visual legacy and fostering a sense of belonging.
The school does not have a traditional Parent Teacher Association (PTA). Instead, it facilitates communication and parental involvement through regular event sessions and a dedicated online Parent-Teacher portal. This platform allows parents to monitor their child's academic progress, receive updates and announcements, and communicate with teachers. The school also encourages parents to be involved in the learning process through access to platforms like Google Classroom.
Maple Leaf Kingsley International School offers a British-based curriculum for students aged 3 to 18., preparing students for IGCSE and A-Level examinations. The school is situated on a 16-acre campus and includes facilities such as an Olympic-sized swimming pool, a 120-seat auditorium, and various sports courts. A distinctive feature of the school is its "Learning Journeys" program. This initiative provides students with real-world experiences through day excursions for primary students and overnight camps for secondary students, aiming to connect classroom learning with practical exploration.
