The majority of students are from expatriate families seeking a western school system for their children while living abroad. At the same time, many Malaysians are seeking an American-based education who also attend the school. While the school focuses on a western education system, it also maintains and encourages cultural relations with its host country, giving students the opportunity to participate in a variety of cultural activities.

It has three divisions: elementary school, middle school and high school. ISKL is currently located in a 26-acre site on Ampang Hilir, moving from its previous Ampang campus in 2018.

ISKL is a member of IASAS, the Green Schools Alliance, and EARCOS.
