KDU Smart Schools (primary and secondary) was set up in 2000 on a 12-acre land in Kota Damansara. In September 2011, Sri KDU International School (SKIS) opened its doors to Years 7 to 11 and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme moved in as part of SKIS. A year later, Years 1 to 6 were added to form Sri KDU International Primary School (SKIPS). Testament to its sound pedagogy, Sri KDU Secondary School secured top position among Malaysian schools in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) in 2012, thus placing it among the top-ranked schools from 65 countries in mathematics, science, and reading.
In 2017, SKIS was the first school in Malaysia to be awarded the Education Development Trust’s (formerly CfBT) International School Quality Mark (ISQM), achieving ‘Gold’ level. SKIS was also admitted as a member of FOBISIA (Federation of British International Schools in Asia) with the aim of promoting excellence, high achievement, and good practice through British-style education in schools. SKIS has expanded to include a new campus at Berkeley Uptown, Klang. It will be the first school in South East Asia to be classified as a Microsoft Flagship School and will embark on a platform of creating Digital Leaders for the future.
