ISKLprovides a variety of student services designed to enhance the educational program and meet the individual educational needs of the students. These services include:
The learning resource center offers help to students who have mild to moderate learning differences in content courses. A variety of strategies are introduced and practiced in order to foster independence in all classes. In addition, the learning resource centers (elementary, middle and high school) may offer small group study skills instruction. The elementary and middle schools also provide remedial reading, written language and math instruction.
The school psychologist provides counseling and special needs assessment of students. Students with special academic or behavioral concerns are referred to the student referral team for review. After consulting with teachers and parents, appropriate support is provided.
Enrichment services are intended to address the needs of students (elementary to high school) who develop at different rates. Services are implemented in a variety of ways. Sometimes a particular unit may be enhanced, or a student may need to work at an accelerated pace due to their prior knowledge and/or the rate at which they learn. Enrichment services are one of the ways ISKL strives to help students reach their academic potential.
ISKL is dedicated to quality education and a component of this is the health and safety of our students. Both the Ampang and the Melawati campus’ have health clinics with full time nurses.
The offices are open from 7:30am-4:15pm Mondays-Fridays. The health clinics at International School of Kuala Lumpur are student-focused clinics. Care is provided for students who become ill, are injured or need treatments and/or medication administration during the school day. The nurses are active in classroom and community education and conduct vision, hearing and postural screening throughout the year. The random drug-screening program for both the Middle and High schools is conducted at the Ampang clinic.
The nurses’ offices serve as a resource for health related issues for students, families and the classroom. Regular articles are published in a health column of the weekly Friday Flash. The nurses actively collaborate with medical organizations and professionals in Malaysia and the World Health Organization and are active members of the International School Nurses of Asia organization. These resources ensure we are updated on such relevant topics as tropical diseases, local and global health issues and school health.

Individual Learning Plans encompass two basic types: * One is known as an Independent Project (IP). A student may gain credit for this type of project and can take the course in or out of ISKL. * The second type of plan is known as an Independent Study (IS). This is not taken for credit, but instead as a subsection of a class. Independent Projects must carry written approval from high school departments as appropriate and from the high school administration. ILPs are part of the overall high school curriculum and are designed in a partnership of students, parents and teachers. Following on the rest of this page are the guidelines for developing Independent Projects (IP) in the high school. The deadline for starting an IP is by the end of the first 8-day cycle of the semester. Students may have a maximum of one ILP/IP per semester.
