Where Your Child’s Future Begins
Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students, every child deserves an education that does more than teach—they deserve an education that transforms. Our children deserve to wake up each day curious about what they’ll learn, confident in who they’re becoming, and excited about the world waiting for them.
At Cheltenham College International School Kuala Lumpur (CCKL), we make that transformation possible. For 180 years, since 1841, Cheltenham College in the United Kingdom has been one of Britain’s most prestigious independent co-educational schools. We’ve built a reputation for producing students who don’t just excel academically, they lead with character, think creatively, and engage meaningfully with the world.
Our purpose-built campus includes dance studios, music and art rooms, science and ICT laboratories, libraries, student lounge, an auditorium for performances, and indoor sports facilities including a gymnasium, pickleball and dodgeball courts, and multipurpose areas by combining Cheltenham’s longstanding traditions with strong emphasis on pastoral care, leadership, and community. Our aim is to nurture students who are confident learners and responsible global citizens.
At Cheltenham College International School Kuala Lumpur, students do not need to leave Kuala Lumpur to experience the strength of a British education. Through collaborative sessions, joint classes, cross-campus initiatives, and cultural exchanges with Cheltenham College UK and Cheltenham College Muscat, our students are connected to a truly international network of learners from day one while remaining rooted right here at home. Our Promise to Your Child; We don’t just teach subjects, we shape confident, ethical global citizens.
Our educational philosophy, adapted for Malaysia and the region, is guided by the 5Cs framework: Curiosity, Creativity, Character, Community and Continuous Excellence. Parents and Guardians, this is the assurance of a world-class education delivered with genuine care – where your child is known, nurtured, and challenged to become the best version of themselves.
For Our Students, you were made for more, and this is the place to find it. You belong here. There is room to try, to fail, to grow, and to shine. Master one thing and watch your confidence carry you further than you ever imagined. I would like to welcome you to chase your dreams and unlock your full potential. This is your new home of excellence.
