Malacca Expatriate School (MES), Malacca, Malaysia

9 years ago

Parents be aware, the school has moved to new premises and it is now even worse than it was before! The primary and secondary schools are now located in the same building, 19Km away from the school's original location and 6Km out of Malacca town. The secondary 'Principal' is a female from Scotland, whose total arrogance and authoritarian attitude is equalled only by her apparent stupidity. She has no previous experience as a school principal and she has absolutely no idea of how to deal with kids. There are very few facilities available in the school and the standard of education has decreased significantly. School fees are overpriced and no satisfactory interface exists between parents, principals and teachers. To the best of my knowledge, all the parents of european / american students (including myself) have now removed their children from the school. The majority of the students are local children plus a very few children from Korea and India. The school cannot therefore claim to be truly 'international'. Beware! This school is total mess.
