Klang Valley's Hotspot

Located within the twenty kilometres radius from prominent cities,
it takes an average of 30-40 minutes to get to AISM from places such as Kuala Lumpur, Bangsar, Petaling Jaya, Mont Kiara, Ampang,
Putrajaya, and Puchong. We offer transportation services to and from our school for some of the areas that we cover.

Smooth Traffic Flow

Nearly 60% of our students travel to our school daily from different parts of Klang Valley as far as Bangsar, Mont Kiara, Petaling Jaya and Ampang. The journey to-and-from our campus is against heavy traffic flow from these areas during peak hours, making it a hassle free drive.

As school begins at 8.50am, our bus pick up times for most routes are between 7.00 to 7.30 am. This makes commuting real convenient and easy.

Open, Green Campus

Nestled within a gated community, our 7.5 acre campus is surrounded by lush nature, which overlooks the picturesque South Lake of Mines Resort City. Walk into our school and be enthralled by its openness and green trees, which is hard to come by in city schools.

Easily Accessible Anywhere

Our location is surrounded by many important roads, such as SILK Highway, North-South Expressway, Sungai Besi Expressway (SBE), MEX, the South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE) and KESAS.

Abundant Amenities

Situated in the heart of Seri Kembangan, our location has nearby amenities and facilities such as malls (The Mines Shopping Centre & IOI City Mall, Putrajaya), petrol stations, eateries, golf clubs and healthcare businesses. The Serdang KTM Station, one of the major rail stations on the KTM Komuter line, is just 3 minutes away from our school.

Close To Residential Areas

The proximity of the residential area to the school is sometimes important to some of our parents. Our campus is close to many gated residential areas such as Gita Bayu, Bluconstellation, Country Heights Kajang and more. We even have families who ride their bikes and scooters to school!

Safe and Secure

Our campus is safely located within the gated Bluwater Estate, which is guarded 24 hours a day. With a fully fenced school compound, we also enforce strict security procedures for our students’ safety.
