[ http://sayfol.edu.my/map.htm Sayfol's Web site ] It was founded in 1986, and currently follows the GCE O Levels syllabus. The school takes in students of ages 4-18, of all nationalities. The school consists of a faculty of over 70 teachers. The school is developing and progressing very fast with a lot of students coming in every year. It is reputed to have one of the toughest examinations in Kuala Lumpur among other international schools but now it's known for its own range of costumes ranging from school shirt, pants, socks and school belts. The school, although sufficient academically, is lacking after school extra-curricular activities. There is absence of clubs such as the Science Club, Math Club, School Newspaper and so on. The school is also lacking proper facilities needed in the everyday running of a school, such as the library only containing a limited number of books which are only story books. The library also requires internet access for research purposes. The school also lacks proper laboratories, such as a physics lab and a biology lab.
