常有家长咨询我国际学校的排名情况,借此来快速的衡量学校的质量。国际学校这块,还没有发现像大学领域里有QS那样的排名,我会推荐家长使用一个简单直观的替代方法,看价格排名。一分钱一分货,学校制定的价格要接受市场的检验,一旦脱离实际价值就会被市场调整,所以价格的排名具有非常强的参考性。
如果在百度上搜索,会发现一些关于排名的文章,细读之后会发现两大问题。一,排名既没有标准也没有数据的来源;二,房产代理公司做国际学校的资讯,由于专注度不够、积累也不够,制造出不准确的信息常常误导家长。
通过谷歌偶然发现一篇英文的文章,借鉴英国的国际学校咨询集团(ISC)的数据以及各个学校公开的价格,列出并介绍了马来西亚大吉隆坡地区(巴生河谷)价格最高的十所国际学校。相对于中文排名文章的良莠不齐,这一篇英文文章更加公允,除了详细的学费也给出了比较详实的学校信息,比如学校设施、课程体系、班级人数、学生数量等等。如此好文,一定要推荐给家长!
为方便大家把排名抽取出来,如下:
1. Mont’Kiara International School (M’KIS) 满家乐国际学校
2. ISKL 吉隆坡国际学校
3. British International School of Luala Lumpar ( BSKL) 英国国际学校
4. Garden (GIS) 花园国际学校
5. Alice Smith School 爱丽斯密斯国际学校
6. IGB International School (IGBIS) IGB国际学校
7. St. Joseph’s Institution International School Malaysia 圣乔瑟夫国际学校
8. Australian International School Malaysia (AISM) 澳大利亚国际学校
9. Nexus International School, Putrajaya (NISP) Nexus国际学校
10. The International School @ ParkCity (ISP)
另外有一所位于赛城的亨利国王八世国际学校(KH8),由于2018年9月才开学所以未被列入排名。KH8的母校是英国的布雷顿基督学院,全英排名23,每年有10%以上的孩子进入牛津和剑桥。KH8是母校在海外开设的第一所分校,价格档次在排名的7/8/9这个区间,由于新学校要吸引学生所以短期内有较大的价格优惠。

2018: 10 Most Expensive International Schools In The Klang Valley
To ensure their children remain competitive in an increasingly borderless world, more and more Malaysian parents are opting for international and private education for their children. However, these schools do not come cheap.
In 2012, the Malaysian government has eliminated the quota for Malaysian enrolment at international schools. Due to the quota and the lack of affordable options, only selected affluent Malaysians could afford to send their children to these schools previously.
The 2012 decision to remove the quota has opened the floodgates and more international schools are mushrooming all over the country. According to the latest data by the International School Consultancy Group (ISC), a UK-based organisation, there are currently 99 English-medium international schools in the country, with a total of 39,460 students.
The market has been growing at a rate of 19% per annum for the past five years, and it is showing no signs of stagnation. As of 2014, the fees are expected to rise another 8% to 15%.
Based on latest findings, 40% of the students in these premium schools are local Malaysians, 9% British, 6% South Korean and 4% American.
