This time, we visited Rafflesia International School, located on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur.

The school is situated in the Puchong area of Selangor, about a 50-minute drive from the city center of Kuala Lumpur. It offers affordable tuition fees, excellent facilities, and has a relatively small number of Japanese students, making it a hidden gem among international schools.

Additionally, the school is surrounded by residential areas, and next to the school, there is a cluster of small shops known as shop lots, providing a convenient living environment.

The following is an excerpt from the school’s website.
