IGB International School (IGBIS) stands as one of the best privately-run institutions situated on a 10-acre campus. IGBIS is located in a pleasant residential area of the Klang Valley, in close proximity to neighbourhoods with a large population of expatriate families. It is unique in Malaysia as the only IB World School to offer all four International Baccalaureate programmes from preschool to pre-university. The faculty at IGBIS is highly esteemed and comprises an impressive 92% of expatriate teachers from a range of diverse countries such as the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Many of these teachers come with prior IB teaching experience. The student body at IGBIS consists of students from 35 different countries, promoting cross-cultural exchange and understanding.
At its core, it is the central role of Action, which plays a central role in all four IB programmes (PYP, MYP, DP, CP), that sets apart an IB education from just about any others.
