International Schools in Sarawak, Malaysia

International schools in Sarawak are a small, regionally focused group concentrated in Kuching with a handful of options in Miri, Sibu and Bintulu; the sector is notably smaller than on Peninsular Malaysia so places and programme choices can be limited compared with Kuala Lumpur. Most schools teach in English and commonly follow British-style pathways (Cambridge IGCSE and AS/A-Levels or the English National Curriculum), with the Malaysian language and national subjects often offered alongside; IB provision is less widespread in Sarawak than in the peninsula. Annual tuition for many Sarawak international schools is generally lower than premium Klang Valley fees and typically falls within a wide band (roughly from a few thousand ringgit at younger years up to the mid-five-figure range for older or specialist programmes), though published rates vary by school and year group. Admissions usually require an application, school reports and an age-appropriate assessment or interview, and intakes follow either the Malaysian calendar (January) or an international term pattern depending on the school, so families should check each school’s current calendar and waiting-list practice before relocating.
