Cempaka International Ladies' College

In 1983, Cempaka Schools was born, by a family, and for a family. Students entering our doors will continue to find themselves welcomed warmly and be taught to live together as a family-to be nurtured and cared for, and to share, bond and develop lasting friendships. Dato' Freida Pilus started Cempaka School in a rented bungalow to provide the best possible education for her sons. It has since expanded to form the Cempaka Group of Schools - a group of private and international schools in Kuala Lumpur & Selangor, comprising of two schools, spread over two campuses - one in Damansara Heights, and one in Cheras.

Students range in age from four (Reception) to eighteen (A-Levels). Though Cempaka has expanded and modernized, and continues to be at the cutting edge of modern education, it has remained true to its original ideals: a school by a family for a family. Her sons for whom Dato' Freida Pilus founded the school are still with her, this time joining her to take Cempaka well into the 21st century.

Cempaka International Ladies' College is the region's premier secondary residential school for girls. The stunningly beautiful campus lies in the tranquil community of Bandar Enstek and runs the UK-based Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) curriculum, International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme (DP). and Global Assessment Certificate (GAC).
