UCSI International School Malaysia International School tour No.10
This is my 10th visit to international schools in Malaysia! This time, I toured UCSI International School, which is located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.
Here are the points I found very impressive about this school:
Despite being centrally located, the school boasts excellent facilities like a swimming pool, a covered basketball court, and a large hall.
The school has a diverse staff from many different countries and places a strong emphasis on technology.

＜Primary＞

The light color walls and the large windows make the classroom very bright.

When there’s an event, this area turns into a bar.
Since Japanese schools don’t have such events, it was a culture shock for me 💦.
Here’s the large ceiling fan.
＜Nursery＞
It’s a colorful space where children can have fun!
Outside the classroom, there is a space where children can learn with sunlight.
It has a roof, so they won’t get wet in the rain (#^.^#).
The outdoor play equipment is also well-equipped.

The boarding facility is located on the school grounds.
When I visited, it was during the school holidays, so I was able to tour the boarding facility. During the holidays, maintenance staff clean the rooms.
Here is the entrance to the student boarding house. It is located next to the cafeteria.
