Education Philosophy
MCKL is known for its academic excellence and affordable fees, and consistently producing well-rounded individuals who can readily excel in society. The College also offers scholarships ranging from 15% to 100% and provides financial aid to many deserving students.
Its mission, “To nurture a community where excellence, in all its forms, is celebrated; and where individuals come alive to their God-given ability to make a unique difference in the world” is the main driver for its staff and students. They are grounded by MCKL’s ten core values; honour God, respect yourself, respect others, respect property, cherish relationships, cherish nature, cherish our nation, celebrate excellence, celebrate diversity, celebrate volunteerism.
MCKL DNA
The Service Learning course is an educational experience that requires participation in an organised service activity to meet identified community needs. Students reflect on their service activity through writing, discussion, and reading to gain a better understanding of their course content, broaden their appreciation of the discipline, and enhance their sense of civic responsibility. Students learn through hands-on interaction and experience,and relate these to their course material via discussion and written assignments.

Character Formation on the other hand touches barely on academics but focuses heavily instead on fundamental aspects of life. Students will be challenged to rethink their positions and question their values regarding what it means to be human and what it means to be in a community. Topics that are discussed are usually taboo, such as pornography, disability, and racism. Contemporary issues are brought forward in class, and discussions are guided to spur critical thinking and creative problem-solving. The class focuses on changing not the behaviour, but the hearts and minds of students, asking them what it means to live a good life.
Students at MCKL can be assured that the staff are ever willing to help. MCKL promotes a family-like culture and a safe space for students to grow and experiment. Many activities involve both students and lecturers, such as the Orientation Camp, and annual student balls, and alumni from years prior would still frequently visit their lecturers.
Recognition and Accreditation

MCKL has been a familiar face in the Outstanding Cambridge Learning Award with student achieving Top in the World and Top in Malaysia in back to back award. Just very recent in 2021, seven out of 12 students from MCKL have placed Malaysia on the global academic map, by achieving the Top in the World Awards. The success stories extended to ACCA course too where MCKL students have also been consistently achieving Top in the World and Top in Malaysia as well.
MCKL successfully achieved ACCA Platinum Status in which it is the most prestigious level as Approved Learning Partner with the highest standards and proven record to sustain student pass rates.
