The curriculum at Earth School Kuala Lumpur combines international Waldorf-Steiner education with localized, age-appropriate content. It covers a wide spectrum of well-thought syllabus and programs that respond to the three developmental phases: the intellectual, practical and artistic development of all students. The age-appropriate curriculum incorporates movement, fine arts, and practical arts into the study of Humanities, Science, Mathematics, and Technology.

  • In Primary, there is approximately 1 teacher to 15 students (1:15 ratio), allowing for closer attention to each child's needs in the classroom.
  • In Kindergarten, the ratio is approximately 8 students to 1 teacher, allowing for close guidance and care during these tender early years.

We are operating as a private school currently and taking the necessary steps in line with the requirements from the Ministry of Education Malaysia to achieve International School status.
