Register Your Child at BXCL Penang International School Now
We aim to make the BXCL Penang international school registration and admissions process as simple, straightforward and stress-free as possible. Every prospective BXCL student is admitted in line with the Ministry of Education Malaysia regulations and the BXCL Education admission policies.
When considering your child for a place at BXCL, we will interview both you and your young learner. There will also be an age-appropriate placement test for your child to sit, to make sure we fit them into the right level of education.
Grade Placement Guide
At BXCL, as part of the registration process, we always endeavour to place your child in the most appropriate grade for their age and academic, emotional and social development. For this reason, your child may be asked to complete an appropriate assessment to determine the best fit.
