THE search for the right international school can be overwhelming for many parents, especially those new to the international school scene. With over 200 international schools in Malaysia, parents are spoilt for choice when it comes to options for their children.
Selangor alone has over 80 international schools.
Therefore, parents are encouraged to do their research and plan early when it comes to choosing the right international school.
The upcoming 18th Private and International School Fair in Kuala Lumpur organised by Mint Communications will be held on May 27 and 28 from 11am to 6pm at the Mid Valley Exhibition Centre.
