Tanarata International School (or TiS) is an extended day (7:50am to 3:30pm) full facilities school modelled on the British Cambridge University education curriculum leading to the IGCSE & AS/A Level qualifications. Located just south of Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, the school caters to students mainly living in Kajang, Bangi, Putrajaya, Kuala Lumpur and other parts of the Klang Valley.
The School has a multicultural, multiracial and multinational community having its roots in Malaysia with its unique blend of cultures and its history of dynamic international, inter-ethnic exchange. The school community consists of students of both sexes aged 5+ to 18 years – as well as their parents/guardians.
The School believes in the development of well rounded educated individuals that are “well grounded” and ethically sound so as to be able to contribute actively to the community at large in a positive manner. The School also understands that such a community thrives upon respect for truth and open exchange. It favours methods of teaching which foster the joy and excitement of learning, discovery and enquiry, and which develop the faculties – intellectual, aesthetic, emotional / spiritual and physical. It is the School’s contention that happy, well-balanced individuals who take strength from such a community, make an invaluable contribution to the world in which we live. In line with the owners / shareholders philosophy, the school provides a broad spectrum of educational disciplines and activities, hence the number and variety of subjects and activities available in the School.
The Tanaratian culture emphasizes commitments rather than commandments. Instead of being an institution defined by regulations and maintained by orders, ours is an educational community in which students, guided by their instructors, identify and commit to meeting individual goals for behavior and achievement.
Teachers, administrators and staff at TiS all seek to create mutually rewarding relationships with students and to help them accomplish their goals in all facets of personal development. Students have a voice in charting their own courses and shaping their community. Working and playing within a progressive, empowering and pluralistic environment, they set high standards and are accountable for meeting them.
Classes are small. So every student gets the attention he or she deserves. Teachers have time to know their students as well as their learning abilities and natural talents. To this end, student-teacher ratios are kept low. They can instruct, evaluate, counsel and work closely with students in exploring educational arenas and overcoming personal challenges.
Class sizes rarely exceed a count of 20 to 22, with a cap on total school student enrollment at around 600 students.
Administrators, advisors and teachers are of the highest caliber at TiS. Our teachers are selected with great care and scrutiny based on their academic excellence, teaching histories and commitment to high ethical standards. They understand that every student is unique, and they strive to grow each one in accordance with his or her gifts and talents-engaging, enriching and inspiring them all to realize their full potential.
TiS encourages ongoing family involvement too via participation or contribution in various school events as informed via newsletters. Communication channels with the school administration and teaching staff are also open at all times to students and parents, both directly and/or via the Tanarata Community Club (TCC).
We now live in a globally interconnected world, where both populations as well as knowledge and information (not to mention trade) has exploded over the last half century. Accompanying this is, and will continue to be, a quantum change in the fundamental structure of society as we know it today... the agrarian, industrial production, mercantile trade based economy of the past that has given way to the consumption and information age in a very capitalist world of today will again change in a post-capitalism world that is dawning on us – the question is... to what ?!

Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
The learning environment was nurturing and fun. Great ambience with the surrounding plantation grounds. The teachers were great as well, especially Mr Gopal who always made our classes fun and Ms Sindhu who always pushed us to be better and guided us along the way!

At Tanarata International Schools in Seri Kembangan, my child's academic journey has been nothing short of remarkable, thanks to the dedicated staff and the enriching IGCSE curriculum that truly empowers each student to excel.

Engaging with TiS Founding Principal, Mrs. Barnali Guha, I have found that through her innovative approach to learning & dynamic teachers, education at TiS goes beyond the solid foundation in life. They nurtures and inspires lifelong learners & ethically driven. I am impressed with TiS' flagship program, Model United Nations (MUN) Conferences, as a truly unforgettable experience for the students, a simulation of UN conferences where students work as representatives of a country and solve problems of the world. MUN conference is a unique opportunity for high school students to learn about international diplomacy & human relations.

Amazing school. My son is studying in TIS. We can clearly see his growth in all aspects since he got admitted in the school a couple of years back. Excellent teachers and serene environment of the school makes TIS unique. Sharing my experience here for parents who are searching for school. TIS is a great place in true sense.

When I arrived in Malaysia in 2008 , my parents were planning on sending me to this school. We're all malaysian but it was my first time here in Malaysia so my parents were worried I couldn't make head or tail out of Malay conversations if they sent me to a normal school. Unfortunately my parents decided to send me somewhere else and I greatly regret not going here then because I personally feel unhappy at my current school :(

Tanarata int schools holds a special place in our hearts. I was blessed to be part of the staffing team and my 3 kids started their formative years in Tanarata starting in year 1 right through high school before moving overseas. The kids have done well for themselves through university and we are grateful for the time spent at Tanarata as it instilled some good values in my kids.
