- Regional Info:
- The school is located in Petaling Jaya which is generally a great place for Western expats to live, offering a comfortable blend of local culture and modern amenities. It's located just outside Kuala Lumpur, making it convenient for those who work in the city but prefer a quieter, more residential environment. PJ is home to numerous international schools, shopping malls, and supermarkets that carry imported goods, which makes daily life easy and familiar for expats. The area also boasts a lively café scene and plenty of Western and Asian dining options. English is widely spoken, and most locals are accustomed to interacting with foreigners, so it's easy to integrate. While traffic and the hot, humid climate can take some getting used to, PJ offers a wide range of housing—from high-end condos to family-friendly neighborhoods—with good security and facilities. It’s especially appealing for families, professionals, and those looking for a more laid-back alternative to downtown Kuala Lumpur.
