An Opportunity in Malaysia Awaits You
Asia Pacific School (APS) is a thriving and highly successful union of a large international school and a large Malaysian national curriculum school (both with primary and secondary sections).
Asia Pacific Smart School (APSS, the Malaysian national curriculum school) was established in 2006 and it was joined in 2012 by Asia Pacific International School (APIS).
All sections of Asia Pacific School are highly popular and high performing.
Examination grades in both curricula are very strong.
Asia Pacific School offers a welcoming, inclusive and stimulating environment to work.
We are also part of the International Schools Partnership (ISP), a leading international educational company based in London with over 50 schools across the world.
As such, we are part of a worldwide family with sister schools in, amongst others, Spain, UK, Mexico, Costa Rica, USA, Canada and UAE.
The international sections (APIS) follow a UK (English) curriculum at primary and secondary level, culminating in IGCSE examinations in Year 11.
We also offer a foundation course in collaboration with NCUK, in year 12.
We are a centre for Cambridge International Examinations (CIE).
The primary and secondary international sections of Asia Pacific School are together a truly cosmopolitan community of almost 600 students of over 30 nationalities.
Our teaching staff are mostly Malaysian with some expatriates.
The school is located within easy travel by car (approximately half an hour) or public transport to central Kuala Lumpur.
