Taylor's International School (TIS)

What Taylor's International School (TIS) does

Taylor's International School (TIS) is a private British international school operating two campuses in Malaysia — Kuala Lumpur (Taman Maluri, established as part of the 1991-founded school) and Puchong (8-acre campus, Selangor). The school delivers the IEYC, IPC, and IGCSE curricula for students aged 3 to 16, with optional add-ons including a Bilingual Programme (English-Mandarin), Personal Pathways micro-credentials, and over 50 Co-Curricular Activities plus 30 paid Extra-Curricular Activities. TIS is the world's first Quantum Learning Distinguished School, with all teachers certified in this evidence-based pedagogical methodology, and operates on Google Workspace for Education (including separate Google Sites portals for students, parents, and staff at both campuses).

The school generates revenue primarily through recurring annual tuition fees, with ancillary income from paid ECAs and scholarship-linked pathways into Taylor's College. The customer base is B2C — families in the Klang Valley seeking premium international schooling — acquired through a sales-led motion (campus tours, Open Days, school agents, WhatsApp/phone enquiry handling) reinforced by community-led word-of-mouth via parent networks, alumni testimonials, and events such as IU Night. The school operates within Taylor's Education Group, a diversified Malaysian education conglomerate that provides institutional continuity into Taylor's College and other group schools (Garden International School, Nexus International School, Australian International School Malaysia).

TIS holds accreditations from Cambridge International Education, the Council of International Schools (CIS), and WASC, plus examination partnerships with Edexcel and AQA, and Apple Distinguished School recognition. Recent strategic activity has centred on a World Class Sports Complex (groundbroken July 2025, completion targeted 2027), a Personal Pathways programme, sustainability infrastructure (1,600+ solar panels), and consistent academic recognition including Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards at the 'Top in the World' and 'Top in Malaysia' level. The school is PDPA-compliant, uses biometric data with consent, and employs Google Analytics plus limited AI disclosures in its privacy framework.
