The Tradition Continues

Uplands School was founded during the Malayan Emergency to provide a safe haven for the children of expatriate planters amidst threats to peace and stability. Located on Penang Hill, it began in mid-January 1955, initially housing approximately 60 children from a small private school called Uplands. The school’s commitment to education excellence and its elevated location led to the adoption of the name “Uplands” and its students being known as “Uplanders.”
