The school you decide to send your children to makes a big difference in their education. Afterall, this is a place where your children will spend most of their time at besides home for 6 (or more) hours a day, 210 days a year, for 11 years. Therefore, it makes sense to do some research and find the best fit for your children.
This website aims to help you choose the school that best fits your child needs according to their intelligence needs using the theory of Multiple Intelligence. There are also some case studies of teachers using Multiple Intelligence in their classrooms which might help you further understand Multiple Intelligence and its usage in schools. As of now, there are no known schools in Malaysia which uses Multiple Intelligence directly in their curriculum. However, there are many schools that uses similar approaches to Multiple Intelligence in helping students learn by using a variety of teaching methods. I have created a database of schools rating them in the different ways they help students learn after gathering responses from students in Malaysia through surveys. The database is still quite small as of now, but you can submit your school to help build up this database.
Up till 2006, the only Malaysians who could attend international schools were those who have lived abroad for at least 3 years or had a foreign spouse. But now, International schools can enroll up to 40 percent Malaysian students. This along with the numerous openings of International schools in Malaysia offer you a lot more choices when choosing a school for your kid, especially when it comes to choosing between curriculum and learning environments. In my database of schools, I've included some international schools along with local government and private schools in Malaysia to widen your choices.

The Story of A Girl
There was a girl who was always fidgeting in class, she just couldn't sit still. Her condition is what we'd call today, ADHD. Her frustrated teachers wrote a note to her parents, resulting in her mom bringing her to a specialist. After 20 minutes of conversation between the mom and the specialist, the specialist told the little girl that they had something to talk about and would be right back.
On the way out of the room, the specialist turn on the radio. He asks the mom to stay quiet, and just watch. And suddenly the little girl started dancing, she was swirling and twirling, leaping and dancing.
That girl was Gillian Lynnes.
Suppose, suppose if on that day that she had visited the specialist, it wasn't this specialist but another specialist. Suppose, that specialist told the family the little girl had ADHD and behavioral problems, and need to be put on the pill. Suppose, the little girls passion for dancing was suppressed like that forever. What would have happened? Our world would not have been able to enjoy the famous Cats musical, or the Phantom of the Opera, the longest running show in Broadway, which has been staged and choreographed by none other, our Gillian Lynnes.
