About Damansara Heights Private School
Damansara Heights Private School is a co-educational institution offering the British curriculum from Reception through to A-Levels, set within one of Kuala Lumpur's most prestigious and leafy residential neighbourhoods. The school combines the academic rigour and structure of the English National Curriculum with the warmth and close-knit community feel that comes from a deliberately moderate school size of approximately 650 students, making it an excellent choice for families who prefer a more intimate educational setting where every child is known by name.
The academic programme follows the English National Curriculum through Key Stages 1 to 3, progressing to Cambridge IGCSE in Years 10 and 11 with a menu of eighteen subject options. The Sixth Form offers fifteen A-Level subjects, with particular strengths in the sciences, mathematics, economics, and English literature. Class sizes are capped at twenty students throughout the school, and a strong tutorial system ensures that each student receives personalised academic guidance and pastoral support. The school's SENCO and learning support team provide in-class and withdrawal support for students with identified learning needs, and an EAL programme assists students transitioning from other language backgrounds.
The campus occupies a generous plot on Jalan Batai, one of Damansara Heights' most attractive residential streets, and has been thoughtfully developed over two decades to create a cohesive and well-resourced learning environment. Facilities include four science laboratories, a fully equipped design and technology workshop, art and textiles studios, a music room, a drama studio, a library, a multi-purpose sports hall, a 20-metre outdoor swimming pool, and extensive landscaped grounds incorporating a football field, cricket nets, and outdoor learning spaces. The school's proximity to the Bukit Kiara recreational park provides additional opportunities for cross-country running, nature walks, and outdoor education activities.
Damansara Heights Private School is accredited by the Council of British International Schools (COBIS) and inspected under the BSO framework. Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level results are strong, with over 72 percent of IGCSE grades at A*–A and over 70 percent of A-Level grades at A*–B. Graduates consistently secure places at UK Russell Group universities, with recent destinations including Durham, Warwick, Bristol, Bath, Edinburgh, and King's College London. A growing number of students also pursue university education in Australia, Canada, and Malaysia's own prestigious institutions.
The school places strong emphasis on character development and service. The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award programme is popular and well-supported, and the school operates community service partnerships with local charities in Kuala Lumpur. Annual tuition fees range from MYR 36,000 to MYR 82,000 depending on year group, representing competitive value within the Kuala Lumpur international school market.
