PARENTS exploring international education options will once again have the opportunity to meet leading schools at the 24th Private and International School Fair (PISF) in Kuala Lumpur.
The fair, which is organised by Mint Communications, will take place from May 16 to 17 at Mid Valley Exhibition Centre (MVEC).
Recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records as the Largest International School Fair in Malaysia in 2025, PISF continues to serve as a trusted platform connecting families with top private and international education providers.
The upcoming fair will bring together a range of international schools, enrichment centres, learning institutions and education service providers, giving parents direct access to K–12 education pathways, curriculum insights and guidance on admissions.
According to Mint Communications co-founder and director Nickie Yew, the fair has helped thousands of families gain a better understanding of the private education landscape in Malaysia.
“The 24th fair continues this mission by bringing together leading private and international schools and education providers under one roof, allowing parents to explore different curricula, learning environments and opportunities for their children in one convenient location,” said Yew.
The event is supported by Amanah Saham Nasional Bhd (ASNB), KidsAgogo, KVC Industrial Supplies, PDVL Overseas Advisory, ScolioLife, Sunfeet and Verity Intelligence.
