Nilai International School is an International member of the UK's Boarding Schools' Association, one of only 7 members in Malaysia. We are proud to be a Cambridge International School, providing the most highly-respected qualifications and the best of a British education in the lush greenery of the pleasant suburb of Putra Nilai.

Putra Nilai was developed by the Nilai Group including Nilai University, Nilai Springs Hotel and Golf Resort, and many attractive houses and apartments for comfortable living, far from the crowded cities, but also conveniently linked by rail and road to Kuala Lumpur and KL International Airport. Nilai Group is a socially responsible company, which offers generous sponsorship to local children for NIS students, substantial discounts on the study at Nilai University, and other benefits for alumni and families of Nilai International School.

Nilai International School’s motto is, Let Your Light Shine! This recognizes that each child is unique and has their own personal light to develop so that they can illuminate their own path in life, and light the way for others. This personalised, individual approach to learning is essential to the Cambridge and UK philosophies of education. Your child will experience holistic education, loving professional care, and expert teaching to bring out the very best that she or he can be as a student, a human being and an emerging citizen of tomorrow's world.

Nilai International School offers an ideal start in life - international education studied in English but rooted in the best traditions of Malaysian and Eastern culture, for tomorrow’s global graduates and world citizens. Nilai’s understanding, caring and knowledgeable teachers use their personal skills with proven technologies and academic resources to deliver the English National Curriculum and Cambridge International programmes, Bahasa Malaysia, Mandarin and Islamic Studies to the highest standards.

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) pre-school programme is an education system to help children under 5 to build reading, writing and number skills, while learning to learn effectively and develop with confidence as young people. The Cambridge International syllabus for Years 1-11 builds knowledge, creativity, self-discipline and curiosity while preparing students for Cambridge IGCSE examinations at the age of 16. Equipped with those IGCSEs at Nilai, students progress to higher levels of learning at neighbouring institutions, or anywhere in the world.

Nilai International School also offers full boarding facilities, where the children are supervised by House Parents who are also their teachers, in an environment that is encouraging and safe, allowing pupils to continue their education out of school hours in group and individual activities. Both day and boarding students at Nilai enjoy the use of our swimming pool, gymnasium and sports complex and football pitch. We encourage all students to seek fitness, to learn to perform under pressure, to challenge and care for themselves, and to achieve personal bests, whether through team or individual exercise, specialist sports such as golf and fencing, or creative activities such as debating, drama, art and music.

The principal is a graduate of Cambridge University in the UK. The British teaching model is adopted to take into account the learning needs of all students. The teachers are all experts in the subjects they teach and are very friendly to students. Green campus. There are various extracurricular activities, including robotics clubs catering to Industry 4.0 and traditional gaming clubs.

Highly recommended! I couldn't have asked for a better education. Filled with passionate, driven and creative teachers that makes learning fun, impactful and applicable. The school has grown over the last few years into a remarkable education institution. As a student there myself during my secondary education, it helped me excel academically, socially and also in extra-curriculum activities such as music, technology, science and the arts. I graduated with 8A* in my IGCSE under the guidance of truly caring and brilliant teachers from both Malaysia and countries from all across the world.
