“…The role of multicultural education could be done by teachers who were the providers of knowledge materials. Thus, Islamic education to non-Muslim students was urgently needed (Omar, Noh, Hamzah, & Majid, 2015). The Qur'an specifically mentions that the concept of human diversity was sunnahtullah (Omar et al, 2015).…”

“…Though certain schools are categorised as Religious-Islamic, the Malaysian Education Blueprint (MOE, 2012) stipulates the national responsibility to provide education to all children regardless of their race and religion. Government schools provide a mother tongue approach in elementary schools designated as Chinese or Tamil schools while secondary schools are designed to cater to all races (Omar et al, 2015). Generally, parents have the right to choose between public or private institutions (Bakar, 2014).…”

International schools present a promising setting in the exploration of leadership in culturally diverse organisations. Due to heightened global interconnectivity, the increasing number of international schools in the Asia Pacific region leads to the evergrowing formation of multicultural learning environments. Aside from being one of the countries with the largest number of international school students in Southeast Asia, Malaysia offers a socio-culturally distinct venue for understanding the organisational dynamics of international schools in a heterogeneous society. Hence, this study primarily aims to present the perspectives of international school teachers on the practices and programmes employed by school leaders with respect to cultural diversity. Taking the viewpoints of school teachers, this case study focuses on how school leaders perform in the midst of the culturally diverse environment of an international school in Malaysia. Thirteen teachers from a prominent international school in Kuala Lumpur were purposefully selected to participate in semi-structured interview sessions. To substantiate the responses from the interviews, five teachers from the same school participated in a focus group discussion. The data from the individual interviews and focus group discussion were triangulated with observation field notes and document analysis. The collated data were thematically analysed using Atlas.ti. The emerging themes revolve around the following: leadership practices with respect to cultural diversity; programmes and policies promoting cultural awareness; and, leadership effects on the school community. Having students and teachers coming from different socio-cultural backgrounds, international schools pose both opportunities and challenges for leadership. Guided by the findings of this study, international school leaders and teachers may design their curriculum and initiate new co-curricular or organisational programmes promoting cultural diversity to benefit students and teachers. More than identifying leadership practices and institutionalised programmes in managing cultural differences, this study calls for further introspection and action to harness the potentials of leadership in promoting harmony in diversity for societal development.

“…From the examples of current issues, it is hoped that the good values of different cultures can be practiced in everyday life. This approach gives students awareness of the importance of unity in life and avoids doing things that can cause division among students (Omar, Noh, Hamzah, & Majid, 2015).…”
