International School of Kuantan

The International School of Kuantan (ISK) has served Malaysia's East Coast since 1996 from its campus in Bandar Indera Mahkota, Kuantan. It is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), and principal Dr Kee Chin Hui oversees the school's programme. ISK describes itself as a deliberately small school where every student is known.

The academic pathway runs as follows:

• Years 1 to 6: International Primary Curriculum with an inquiry-led focus on literacy and numeracy
• Years 7 to 9: Cambridge lower secondary with specialist teaching in sciences, humanities and arts
• Years 10 and 11: Cambridge IGCSE, usually completed by age 16 with around nine subjects
• Ages 16 to 19: Cambridge A Level or BTEC Level 3, with progression options such as a Kaplan foundation and the ACCA route

Students also take electives, co-curricular activities and a house system, with attention to wellbeing. Graduates have gone on to universities in Malaysia, Japan, the Philippines, Australia and the United States.
