At The International School of Kuala Lumpur (ISKL), the opportunities to learn outside the classroom by participating in co-curricular activities are invaluable in supporting our students to be all they are. These experiences are essential in helping our students discover passions, interests, and create a lifetime of memories.
Our students recently participated in The Addams Family Musical and the annual Jazz Night productions, and one thing is for certain: both performances were a hit!
Lively music filled The Robert B. Gaw Theatre, and although the events were live-streamed to our community, the immense range of talent was undeniable. Melodic music graced our homes as the ISKL Singers and Jazz Night Combo gave beautiful renditions of hits such as Nat King Cole’s “L-O-V-E” and “Fly Me To The Moon” by Frank Sinatra. The theatre also got spooky as students transformed the space to give us a wacky performance of The Addams Family Musical featuring characters such as Morticia and Wednesday played by our diverse community.
Congratulations to our talented students for their hard work in helping the arts shine at ISKL! Are you interested in learning more about the co-curricular activities at ISKL? Head over to the website here.
