International school holidays in Malaysia, 2026/27
International schools don't follow the government's Kumpulan A and B calendar — each one sets its own terms, usually August to June, with half-terms, a Christmas break, a spring break and a long summer. Here are the published breaks for 8 schools: Alice Smith, Dalat, Epsom, Garden International, ISKL, Marlborough, Nexus and Sunway International. Malaysia's public holidays still apply on top.
