There are currently over 170 international schools in Malaysia today. Each international school is unique in terms of their offerings such as the type of the curriculum followed. The British Curriculum is by far the most popular curriculum offered by international schools in Malaysia. However, it is common for international schools to offer more than one curriculum and academic qualification. For example, a school may offer the American Curriculum up until secondary school level and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme at pre- university level. The range of international curricula offered in Malaysia is wide, with over ten curricula and examinations in total.
The International Primary Curriculum (IPC) was introduced by Fieldwork Education in 2000. The demand for a more creative and effective curriculum that is taught from an international perspective resulted in the creation of the IPC. The IPC is now being taught in over 1,000 schools worldwide. The IPC is offered by a number of international schools in Malaysia at primary school level.
