Since its inception in 1983, the Methodist College Kuala Lumpur (MCKL) was founded by the Methodist Council of Education. Our campus is strategically established in the heart of Kuala Lumpur.
MCKL’s guiding philosophy is focused on delivering excellent and quality education, which ultimately serves its purposes as an institution for society. As educators, we strive for a caring and nurturing environment through transformative learning and teaching practices, along with upskilling extra-curricular activities. MCKL continues to deliver and build knowledge, skills and attitude to enhance the competency of each individual thus leading to job security in the modern workforce.
Over the years MCKL has been highly recognised for its track record and gold standard achievements of its pre-university and undergraduate programmes, while also being a platinum approved learning partner of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).
In 2022, MCKL launched its first branch campus – MCKL College (Penang, Pykett campus), to provide greater higher education opportunities and alternative pathways for secondary school leavers and adult learners in the northern region in line with the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR4.0).
Our mission is to nurture a community where excellence, in all its forms, is celebrated and where individuals will make extraordinary differences in the world with strong moral character and academic achievement. The institution seeks to produce quality students who will transform into respectable role models for generations to come, contributing to the advancement of their community in line with MCKL’s vision of being “The Institution of Excellence for Life”.
