Placing your child after an MM2H move
Malaysia has three main school routes for international families: international schools (British, American, Australian curricula, taught in English, RM 20k–100k+/year), private Chinese independent schools (UEC track), and public schools (Malay-medium, nearly free, available to MM2H children).
| Age | US system | UK system | Malaysia (national) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3–5 | Pre-K / KG | Nursery/Reception/Year 1 | Prasekolah (preschool) |
| 7 | Grade 3 | Year 3 | Tahun 1 |
| 12 | Grade 8 | Year 8 | Tahun 6 / Form 1 |
| 16 | Grade 12 | Year 12 (A-Levels) | Form 4 |
| 18 | University | University | Form 6 / foundation |
School placement is one of the biggest stress points for relocating families. Seven Star Group's education advisory handles shortlisting, applications and enrolment for international schools across Klang Valley.
