Dalat School was founded in 1929 as a private, Christian boarding school to provide a North American education for children of Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA) missionaries in Indo-China.

Because of war conditions in 1965, the school moved from its original location in Dalat, Vietnam, to a temporary location in Bangkok, Thailand. Eight months later the school relocated to the Cameron Highlands of Malaysia where it remained for six years. In June 1971, Dalat School moved to the present location in Penang, Malaysia. 

On July 1, 1999, Dalat School became an independent Christian school with an inter-mission school board. In December 2001, the word “international” was added to the school’s name to more accurately reflect its multicultural student body. 

Since securing a long-term lease in 2016, Dalat has transformed the beachside campus in Tanjung Bungah—formerly a British military R&R base—into a premier educational facility.

With the 100 year anniversary on the horizon in 2029, Dalat remains committed to ongoing development, ensuring the best possible education environment for students into the next century.
