Location & Community

CHIS is located in Johor Bahru, at the southernmost tip of Peninsular Malaysia, just across the causeway from Singapore. This gives colleagues the best of both worlds: the affordability, warmth, and community spirit of Malaysia, combined with immediate access to one of Asia’s most vibrant cities.

Living in Johor offers a wonderful quality of life. It is a safe and family-friendly region, with excellent food, cultural festivals, and a rapidly developing infrastructure. For those who love to explore, Malaysia’s rainforests, mountains, and beaches are within easy reach, and flights across Southeast Asia are short and affordable.

Our school community is a microcosm of this diversity. Students come from both local Malaysian families and expatriate households, creating a dynamic mix of languages, traditions, and perspectives. This cultural blend is one of our greatest strengths: it gives our students a genuinely international outlook and our staff the richness of teaching in a truly global classroom.
