The TIS brand has a clear ethos, and structure, by which all schools will deliver holistic education. 

TIS KL is one of two campuses of Taylor’s International Schools (TIS) in Malaysia. Both schools are termed neighborhood international curriculum schools, as they offer the “best of east and west” - western curriculum with eastern values, by offering an international education with character building to all students

TIS is part of Taylor’s Schools (TS, https://www.taylorsschools.com/), one of the largest private K-12 schools groups in Malaysia, currently with five schools in Malaysia and one in Singapore. TS has been educating children for over 20 years and continues to nurture new generations of students today.  Each of our schools offers its own unique approach to learning and are connected by a common purpose, which is to educate the youth of the world to take their productive place as leaders in the global community. It is our goal to nurture individuals who are not only academically sound, but also globally aware, and are cultivated to be:

1. Relevant - to have an innovative and entrepreneurial mindset, having skills to be confident real world problem solvers, and successful in their pursuit of any desired career;

2. Responsible - to have a great sense of responsibility to take care of themselves, their community, and the world in which we live in;

3. Resilient - to remain mentally and emotionally healthy amidst adversities, to be able to learn from their mistakes and have the strength to bounce back when it matters most.

TISKL is a Quantum Learning Distinguished school, to recognise the excellent student centred learning practices seen throughout the school. 

We invite dynamic, suitably qualified and experienced candidates to lead and drive the Primary section. The Primary school  is five form entry, from Nursery to Year 6, with nearly 700 students, and 90 teachers and teaching assistants.

Application deadline: 27th December 2024.
