Dalat International School is a school in Penang, Malaysia.
[edit] History
Dalat School was founded in 1929 as a private Christian boarding school in Dalat, Vietnam to provide a North American elementary and high school 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 to a temporary location in Bangkok, Thailand. Eight months later, the school relocated to Tanah Rata in the Cameron Highlands of Malaysia where it remained for six years. In June 1971, Dalat moved to its present location in Penang, Malaysia where it became established as Dalat International School in 2002. It was partly damaged during the tsunamiin 2004. [1]

Dalat International School uses United States standards of education that have been compiled by McREL Compendium of Standards and Benchmarks for K-12 education.
