Guided by core school values

RGSKL delivers a distinctive British education shaped by the school’s core values of curiosity, resilience, ethics, respect and creativity. These values guide learning across all year groups, from Early Years through to A Levels. Every student is known and supported, with a strong emphasis on academic progress, wellbeing and personal growth.

The school offers a vibrant environment where students can explore their interests through a diverse range of sports, music, drama, and creative arts. Regular trips and experiential learning activities complement classroom teaching, encouraging curiosity, teamwork and confidence.

The Kajang 2 campus has been designed for modern, holistic learning and includes eight science laboratories, a two-floor library, a full-sized astro turf, swimming pool, indoor multi-purpose hall, outdoor courts, tennis courts and two climbing walls. A state-of-the-art boarding facility for 250 students will open in August 2027.
