School bukol...

A while ago we visited Tenby International School, it seems to be a nice learning environment. About 20 minutes away via the NKVE from our condo which probably means less traffic, but at the price of RM 1.40 toll fee. Hope we get a car before school starts in January.

The fees are almost the same as MAZ International School, but this one really has nice facilities in comparison and as a result has a more campus feel into it. It was actually recommended to us by another international school (ELC). Looking forward to getting all the finance requirements settled as soon as possible.

All in all it looks promising, after spending the past few months looking for options, hopefully this is the one. Otherwise, there is no other option but send them to school in the Philippines. Sigh, the thought alone makes me sad already. Nothing beats staying together in a foreign country even if that means a huge sacrifice in terms of savings. But life is short and money can't buy you the happiness of seeing and being with your kids everyday.

More on this as we go along. I think its time to post some tidbits on OFW life in Malaysia for the benefit of those thinking of working here. Its actually a nice country to live in with a comparatively lower cost of living than its neighbor Singapore.

Very interesting, my family has been in Malaysia for the past year and my husband and I have been school hunting for my almost 4 year old son as well. Good that you finally decided on a school. It's only for kindergarten so we didn't enrol him yet to an international school but we'll definitely opt for that when he goes to primary school. I'll book mark your blog so I can check out updates on your daughter's school experience. You mentioned MAZ, we actually live quite near the area (Section 14). Hope you don't mind if I ask where your family stays.

Hope you have made a wise choice.

Planning to go back Malaysia, and sending my daughter year 9 this year to Tenby international school. How far is it from Klang, Tesco to this school? How much is the annual fees?
We are torn between elc international school and tenby international school?
Please advice
