HELP International School

What the school reports

According to the school's own accreditation and awards page, HELP International School was shortlisted for the TES International School of the Year in 2019 and 2024. The same source notes that a TES shortlist is third-party recognition within the British-curriculum and IB international-school community, not a universal ranking of school quality.

This information comes from the school describing itself, which is not independent evidence about the school. No independent source about the school's reputation was available in the evidence, so families cannot corroborate this recognition against outside coverage here.

How entry works

The school states that admission is not automatic and depends on place availability, school records and satisfactory placement-assessment results, with offers also considering the child's learning over the prior 12 months and age appropriateness. Its public application form provides for proposed commencement in August, January or April, and requests the past year's school report for Primary and Secondary applicants plus an Options Form for Year 10 and Year 12 applicants.

A public TES recruitment listing hosted by a third party states that applicants undergo CAT4 assessment with a written English-proficiency component. This corroborates that an assessment step exists, though the wording appears to be school-provided recruitment material rather than independent reporting.

What is not published

The school does not publish an acceptance rate, applicant volume, or a formal year-group waiting-list count. Its FAQ says spaces are often limited depending on year group. On the published information, families targeting a particular entry point should ask admissions about current capacity for that year group rather than infer how selective entry is from marketing language.

Size and nationalities, as the school states them

The school's public history page reports over 1,400 students and over 150 teachers, and does not publish a nationality count or a local/international split on the reviewed pages. A school-published recruitment pack for a post required from August 2025 stated 1,500 students representing 25 nationalities.

An earlier, undated school-authored profile stated more than 1,300 students across 25 nationalities and said 85% of students were Malaysian. This document carries no publication date and is historical rather than a current census, so the proportion should not be read as today's figure.

Examination results

A third-party directory reports June 2025 IGCSE results of 62% A*-A, 81% A*-B and 93% A*-C. The school's own results pages or PDFs with candidate counts were not located, so these should be treated as third-party reported figures without an accompanying cohort size, not independently audited outcomes.

Alumni destinations

The official alumni page documents individual adult alumni studying at institutions including Imperial College London, University College London, University of Otago, University of Melbourne, Swinburne University and Monash University Melbourne. These are individual destination statements published by the school, not cohort-level matriculation statistics, so they show that some graduates reached these universities rather than what share of a year group did.

Recognition and fees

The school reports it was named Champion in the Future-Ready School (Private/International School) category at the TalentCorp LIFE AT WORK Awards 2025, in a school-owned post dated 31 October 2025.

The school's fee page publishes its 2026/2027 schedule, including annual tuition from RM25,200 for Preschool 1/2 to RM66,150 for Years 10 and 11, and RM84,000 for the two-year A-Level programme.

Location and model

The school describes itself as a day school in Subang Bestari, not a boarding school, and says it is about five minutes northeast of Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport. It says three recognised independent transport providers serve listed Klang Valley areas; these providers are not contracted by the school, and families negotiate arrangements directly.

Curriculum fit

The published curriculum is a British/IPC pathway culminating in IGCSE and Cambridge A-Level, with Mandarin listed for all lower-secondary students and Bahasa Malaysia compulsory for Malaysian students. On the published pages, families seeking IB, an American diploma, or a boarding model would need a different provider or should confirm alternatives directly with the school.

Costs beyond tuition

The 2026/2027 fee page states that published tuition excludes technology fees, canteen meals, uniform, certain specialised co-curricular activities and materials, and that 6% SST applies to annual-fee payments exceeding RM60,000. Families should budget for these additional items when comparing the headline tuition figures.
