Located in central Kuala Lumpur beside the Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve, St. John’s International Secondary School educates students aged 11 to 18. The school provides a clear academic progression through the Cambridge curriculum, starting with Lower Secondary, leading to IGCSE examinations, and culminating in the A-Level programme for university entrance. The school's facilities support this curriculum with science labs, a library, and various sports courts. Distinct from many international schools, St. John's continues the long-standing educational mission of the De La Salle Brothers in Malaysia. This is evident in its focus on character building and service, with co-curricular options like the Interact Club and St. John Ambulance. The school also offers specialised clubs such as Debate and Drone Technology, preparing students for varied post-secondary pathways.
