Education should develop the whole child academically, socially, emotionally and physically. The launch of Garden International School’s new RM100 million Sports Complex marks an important milestone for Taylor’s Schools, reflecting a continued commitment to creating world class learning environments where students can discover their strengths, build resilience and grow with confidence.

Located at Garden International School in Mont Kiara, the new five level, 200,000 sq ft facility represents a bold investment in student development. Designed to support excellence in sports, wellbeing and community engagement, the complex features an Olympic size swimming pool, two full length indoor basketball courts, two tennis courts, and a fully equipped gym and fitness suite.

A New Standard for Student Development

The Sports Complex is more than a place for physical activity. It is a space where students can learn discipline, teamwork, perseverance and leadership, qualities that are essential for success in school and beyond.

GIS has long recognised that achievement is not limited to the classroom. Through access to high quality sports facilities and programmes, students are encouraged to push boundaries, overcome challenges and develop the confidence to perform at their best.

This investment also supports the growing achievements of GIS student athletes, many of whom represent their states and Malaysia in national and international competitions. By providing professional standard facilities within a school environment, GIS is creating more opportunities for students to train, compete and pursue their sporting potential.

Designed for Students and the Wider Community

The new development also reflects Taylor’s Schools’ commitment to thoughtful, community minded growth. Beneath the Sports Complex is a modern underground car park with improved access points to Jalan Kiara 3 and Jalan Kiara 5, helping to create a safer and smoother experience for families during school drop off and pick up.

Beyond serving students, the facility extends its benefits to the surrounding community. With the swimming pool and sports hall open to the public, the Sports Complex supports neighbourhood wellbeing and encourages broader participation in sports.

Investing in the Future of Learning

The launch of the GIS Sports Complex forms part of the first phase of the school’s wider campus transformation, which includes the basement car park, an alfresco dining area and a FIFA standard youth football field.

Looking ahead, GIS is set to continue this journey with a further RM85 million investment in a new Performing Arts Centre. Together, these developments reinforce a balanced vision of education that values academic excellence, athletic growth, creativity, collaboration and personal wellbeing.

As GIS approaches its 75th anniversary in 2026, this milestone is a powerful reflection of the long term commitment that defines Taylor’s Schools. Across our family of schools in Malaysia and Singapore, we continue to invest in environments that inspire students to learn, grow and thrive.

Through the new Sports Complex at GIS, Taylor’s Schools reaffirms its mission to prepare students not only for academic success, but for life, equipping them with the resilience, confidence and character to make a meaningful impact in the world.
