Choosing the right school for your child is never just about academics—it is about entrusting an institution with a young person’s growth, values and future. In Malaysia, discerning families now have access to a new benchmark of excellence through Sunway International Schools (SIS) and their partnership with the historic Magdalen College School, Oxford (MCS).
With campuses in both Kuala Lumpur and Johor, SIS boasts a strong foundation in global education. Beyond its Canadian (Ontario) curriculum and International Baccalaureate programmes, SIS Kuala Lumpur (SISKL) also offers the Cambridge programme, known for its academic rigour and international recognition.
This pathway is now further elevated through a partnership with MCS. Celebrated for shaping leaders across generations, MCS’s philosophy of academic distinction combined with whole-person development has shaped centuries of learners, now embedded as an enhancement within SISKL’s Cambridge pathway.
Established over 500 years ago, MCS consistently ranked among the top one per cent of more than 2,400 independent schools in the United Kingdom. Known for its academic excellence, cultural richness and holistic student development, MCS is a pathway to some of the world’s top universities—including Oxford, Cambridge and the Ivy League.

For parents, it is the promise of both worlds. Children can benefit from the breadth and innovation of SIS’s global curricula, while also gaining from MCS’s traditions of resilience, creativity, and service.
It is an education designed not only to prepare students for university, but also to shape compassionate leaders who can thrive in an interconnected world.
