Idrissi International School Kuala Lumpur is a small eco-Islamic international school founded in 2015 in Setia Alam, following the Cambridge International Curriculum. The school operates with minimal public visibility and virtually no presence in parent forums or teacher discussions, making…
In brief
Founded in 2015, Idrissi International School combines Islamic values with environmental consciousness while delivering the Cambridge International Curriculum. Located in Setia Alam, a suburb accessible from Kuala Lumpur, the school positions itself as serving families seeking education that integrates Islamic principles with international qualifications. The eco-Islamic focus represents a niche approach within Malaysia's diverse international school market.
The school's complete absence from teacher recruitment forums and parent discussion platforms suggests it operates within a very specific community rather than competing broadly in Kuala Lumpur's mainstream international education sector. Unlike established institutions such as ISKL, Alice Smith School, or Garden International School that generate extensive online discussion, Idrissi International School maintains an extremely low profile with limited publicly available information about academic results, facilities, or parent experiences.

Reviews
- Eco-Islamic Cambridge curriculum school in Setia Alam, Shah Alam, founded 2015. Five-star Ministry of Education rating.
- A Kuala Lumpur Reddit thread recommended Idrissi to a Muslim family looking for an English-medium Islamic school in a family area, alongside Seven Skies in Shah Alam.
- Parent comments collected by school directories praise the teachers, the family-feel community, and fees that are competitive against secular international schools.
- No critical signal surfaced. Outside of the school's own marketing, the data pool is thin and skews positive from local parenting blogs.
