About The International School of Penang (Uplands)

The International School of Penang (Uplands) is a not-for-profit, co-educational Primary and Secondary School (Year 1 to Year 13) with boarding facilities, open to children aged 5 to 18 years old. 

 

It is one of the leading international schools in Malaysia, offering International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP), Diploma Programme (IB DP) and International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) qualifications.

 

Uplands School was founded in 1955, in a colonial hotel on the top of Penang Hill, as a British preparatory boarding school for the children of expatriate families in Malaya. It was relocated to a historic, former catholic seminary site in George Town in 1976, and moved once again in September 2006 into purpose-built facilities in the heart of Batu Feringgi, the island’s beach resort.

 

Uplands School is an IB World School, also recognized by the Malaysian Ministry of Education and permitted to admit both foreign and local students. Continuing its long history of excellence in education, Uplands received accreditation by The Council of International Schools (CIS), a global organization committed to ensuring high-quality international education. Uplands is also accredited by The International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO) and a member of: 

- The Federation of British International Schools in Asia (FOBISIA);

- The Association of International Malaysian Schools (AIMS);

- The Boarding Schools’ Association (BSA).
