Fairview International School Kuala Lumpur

The teachers in Fairview are certified IB teachers . They know what they are doing and are very committed to bring out the best in every student. They are willing to sacrifice their personal time to go the extra mile to make sure their students really understand. 

This school does not particularly care about most of their feedback from their pupils ( I am a Grade 7 Student, I am also a member of the Student Council, which means I am not spamming these. ) The school hardly reacts to feedback and recommendations. Mos tof the teachers are most of the time poorly trained, who are fired or quit in their early careers. The school can’t enforce rules strictly to higher education students, other than 2 ways, Either shouting at the, in their class, infront of others, or gathering them all in a Multi-Purpose Hall, and shouting at them. The school also has a lack of coordination, often badly enforcing rules or accusing someone’of something they didn’t do. The food provided at school are most of the time overpiced ( 6RM for a Single Bowl of Pasta, 3RM for a Single can of Milo ) The school also provides expeditions for Grade 6+ Studens and ‘Eduresort’ camps for Grade 4+. The school often has a lack of discipline on these trips, with often offering poor acomodation, with a tight schdule. The bills are also quite high, with an average Grade 7 Bill being around 24,000RM total, with extra fees for tution if the student deems the student requires it. The school also has a long ( Half-Semester / 1 Quarter ) leaving process, which means you would likely have to wait a while If you wish to leave, the school will forfeit the deposit request to leave in less time. The school also oftens does not implement changes / requests, as a month ago, I went to the IB HQ ( This is an IB school ) to ask for some improvements, sice then they have not changed. In all, from the perspective of a student with considerations from parents, I WOULD NOT recommend this school.

A school where the teacher teaches 8-year-old students screaming and screaming. A school with a principal who advocates such a teacher and does not meet with his parents. This school should never be admitted.

We are paying IB school fees but taking IGCSE exams... actually unprofessional from their side All in all , we do appreciate the learning experience and fairview taking us overseas. But this is not what I would expect from a school I’m paying 20,000 ringgit for. I would not recommend this school for your child education as many people have left this school because of the schools system. I mean really? Paying IB school fees to take an IGCSE exam? . Our physical education teachers are proposing to get a better football pitch but the school wouldn’t do it. We pay 20k to get a field of grass which isn’t even levelled properly. Please take your time to find a school for ur child. Especially if they like football.

If you want your children to love learning, do not send them here. This school is a business where the owners (Chang family) have developed a quarter of a billion$ real-estate empire at the expense of parents´ fees and providing sub-standard education to the poor kids. I know becuase I taught there 2015-16. The staff (many of whom are wonderful) are unbelievebly over-worked and under-paid and work in a climate of fear - I have never seen anything like it anywhere else. Many of us beleived that the Cheng´s must have bribed the inspectors of International Baccalaureate to obtain approvals. They are so stringy, that they claim to offer "design technology" as a subject and do not have a single workshop or any of the resources that I have seen in other schools to support education in Design and Technology. I suggested a 3-D printer - and was told by Michael Cheng " I dont see the educational purpose in that" !!! Then why so thousands of other schools have them? The Cheng family force staff to sign a contract that stops publically stating the horrible reality of Fairview school - But I have left Malaysia so I am lucky enough to be able to tell the truth. CHOOSE ANOTHER SCHOOL - your kids will be happier there! Try to choose a school where your hard-earned money will really be spent on your child´s education not on making a mega-rich owner even richer.

Absolutely horrendously expensive school fees for sub par education, the teacher turn over rate is incredible I have been through 3 different teachers in one semester alone. Just goes to show how badly they treat their staff

Horrible school, wish I never went here.

Called many times to the phone number stated on their web, no one is picking up.

I feel that for the price this school offers, its service is not good enough.

Honestly never been to a school that simply added the world 'Inter' to the word 'national' and declared it to be a good school for multicultural students. Went here for two years and got literally bullied for not being Malaysian, to the point where I got threatened with a knife by students. The school lacked half the year levels, forcing students to repeat or skip grades. The school is an old office building and the principle changed thrice throughout the two years period (including a principle that went to jail for fraud) . It was fun to learn about a different culture but my parents regret not sending me to a national school, i did learn to appreciate my school back home.

It’s super funny when they teach and study masters at the same time and we help them on their masters survey in class. Pls hire some teachers who have graduated.

In my opinion, I honestly think that this school might not be worth the fees you pay. I had studied in Fairview for almost 5 years and yet I wasn't really satisfied with the experience I had here. Some of the Teachers that I had weren't really polite. I was sometimes harassed and made fun of for my late attendance which isn't a appropriate behaviour for a Teacher to have. Bullying was also a problem here in the school, as a child I was constantly being bullied by other students for a long period of time. These made it difficult for me to learn subjects due to the amount of stress I had. I had to file dozens of reports to get over it which lasted for 2 years... other than that, the facilites are great and the cleanliness is outstanding.

I have a love-hate with Fairview. I think Fairview had improved in the past months and this quarter, and have listened to student's opinions in surveys like 7C. That doesn't change the fact that the school is really cheap expensive though. I came to appreciate the IGSCE exam format in school, as I think it's easier to do than the IB format. Contrast to my previous review, I did not mean teachers being mistreated literally, just that they're being put in departments that they're not in the job for, and also that they have a lot of work to do in a week. Although expensive, it's still affordable compared other school in the region. I think I do recommend this time as the management changed how they manage stuff and it's better. Previous review: A really bad, unfair school with really inexperienced management (besides the teachers who taught me, they're kind and nice) and mistreatment of teachers and students also some teachers who are not trained. Highly expensive price for a facade of a school. Though, I'm really thankful for their approach in learning overseas and abroad, its really not hard to see that many people have left Fairview because of the school system. It also has a really bad curriculum. As of 6/12/2018, this school has won four worse school in the planet awards for four years in a row. No, just kidding, but it shows how much you SHOULD NOT GO>> p.s, i'm still here, i can't leave cause every other school is too expensive although this one is expensive, its less expensive then others.

Dear Fairview Directors and Shareholders, My below review is for Subang Jaya Fairview and I do hope you will be able to look into this matter rather than making money from all the parents year after year. A lots of Best Teachers are leaving Recently from this School and the Management should find out WHY? I have sent this review specifically to Subang Jaya Fairview School Web and I hope Mr Webber should pay attention on this. Dear Fairview Management, Teachers and Especially Mr Webber, My comments very short and simple. The Fairview School in Subang Jaya now becoming worst since June 2019 up to now. There are so many new young teachers which never have any experiences of handling students especially from Grade 3 and 4. I have no idea of Grade 1 and 2. Some of the Teachers on the Charts were only Degree Holders and yet never had any Masters, and the worst part, how all this young teachers without any experiences to handle kids are teaching in Class?? This terms really worst which parents will have to teach more their students at home compare to teachers who suppose to teach them in school and looks like Teachers giving back to them Just like passing the balls to parents. I hope you will be able to understand my meaning on that. Also, I find this terms June to November, More and more Parents need to spend money to go to Book Stores buying all kinds of things for certain subjects which it can be up to 200.00 and 300.00 RM per week. My last comments, Teachers should come earlier than Students and not Students come earlier than Teachers. This characters are not acceptable as the Teachers and should not be ANY REASONS given. Thank you Please do something on this.

Fairview International is a pretty damn good school. It's the only one with a full IB curriculum. I was there for 9 months (went back to BD) and Grade 8 was great. Good students, good teachers and decent cafeteria food. The use of technology is superb - iPads and Laptops are used all the more effectively. I enjoyed a lot of the projects although some kinks of the IB curriculum were a massive, massive hassle.

Used to be the best IB school in KL, good program and infra but sadly the quality of teachers is on the decline

did grade 10/11/DP1/DP2 asdfghjkl v good in terms of education but people aren't great (not teachers, I mean the peers), and canteen has major hygiene issues... there was this one time when the canteen person dropped a dumpling in wet dirty water and still sold the dumpling to my sister's friend. Needs to be fixed stat. STUDENTS NEED MORE PIZZA DAYSSSS

Decided to check on the school last week. Very good first impression. I love the fact that the school have 2 swimming pools + they have their own gym. Nice!

A good school with nice environment with beautiful nature ????????

I know a friend that has their child studying there and it's beautiful just beautiful.

It is a good international school offering IB syllabi and dormitories for the students as well as teachers. Howevr, there are always complaints about the management by both students and teachers.

It's a good School. My Children improve in math, science and English drastically after being in the School.

As a parent of a primary year student, I am extremely pleased of the treatment given by the teachers here in the school. Throughout his tenure in Fairview, my son improved a lot in his academics.

Went for a survey with my wife to enroll for our kids. Good first impression and yes, indeed a good school.

Good environment. Strategic location and being in a place that is slightly in 'the woods' makes the air feels and smells much more cleaner compared of having the school to be in the city center.

The students and staff are always so friendly. I would say it's the best school I've been to.

Fairly good school. I do not have any negative comments about the school. As for now, all good.

Fairly good school. The school canteen is clean and spacious. The Management is cooperative and the teachers is good.

Don`t mind to attend this school if was younger

Went to an exhibition last 2 years and met their counselors. They explained to me about the whole IB Education program and what's the differences between fairview and other international schools. To be honest, I'm attracted to the program itself. Yes, still think about enrolling my daughter here after 2 years. Here I am signing up right now. Hope all is well.

great place with awesome environment

As a guy, with OCD, I am very particular about how the management do their job in terms of paperwork when I ask them about the enrollment inquiries. All I can say is I am indeed satisfied with the treatment that has been given by them. 5 Stars for you Fairview.

Plan to move to Kuala Lumpur last 2 years. Found out about this school at an exhibition when my wife and I went for a vacation to Malaysia. And now, 3 of our children is studying here. A good school.

I do not know much about the IB Education program. But by reading on the brochures and leaflets given, I must say it really catch my attention. When to check out the school on Monday, 31st April 2019. Fairly good school with a very good first impression. No negative comments about the school.

It is a good International School that provides full IB syllabus with a very reasonable price of fees. I can see that my daughter's self confidence is increasing. Happy daughter, happy me.

My Family and I just moved to Malaysia on March 2019. At first i thought that it would be hard for me adapt with new culture and all. But then, the teachers here are very friendly and willing to teach and guide me. A good experience and an amazing school.

This will be the first time I'm writing a review. I'm a student here since year 2018. The school has good amenities. The students are cool as always. But I really love and adore the teachers. There's one day, I forgot to bring my purse and I was feeling super hungry. I didn't tell anyone but my teacher seems like able to 'feel' something. She ask me if I am okay or not. Told her that I did not bring my purse. She gave me RM10 to buy food and didn't even ask me to pay her back. I love you Ms. Y. Thank you.

I've wanting to write a review since I entered my children to this school. I honestly feel that both of son's self confidence increased significantly. They're able to speaks English, play and mingle with other kids without any hesitation. Plus, getting better in Match and Science too.

A good IB World school!

The school is well located as the nature provides good ambience for students to study in .

The environment around the school is quite nice. Teachers and staff are friendly..

Great school with great staff. The teachers and staff and very understanding towards the individuals needs of the kids in my experience. The overall climate is positively encouraging and the staff is very hospitable and helpful towards making everything easy for both the parents and the kids. My kids and I both like the place, highly recommended.

I like the environment and the scenery here. Very green and calm... The best place to study
