Malaysia
Become A Global Partner
In Malaysia
One system for two programmes, Art and Tech, not a patchwork of single-subject brands.
Built in Singapore, already proven in Kuala Lumpur.
At A Glance
OpenKids brings its Global Partner Programme to Malaysia: one OpenKids licence for both of its programme systems, Art Programmes and Tech Programmes, at every tier. Its Kuala Lumpur arts network is OpenKids' first international market; partners complete pre-opening training and certification at Singapore HQ and operate on the MagiBox technology stack.

Why Malaysia And Why Now
Not A New Market For Us
Our First One
The Export Model Was Proved Here
Our Kuala Lumpur arts network was OpenKids' first international market, run on the same curriculum and MagiBox stack as Singapore.
Art And Tech On One Licence
Art Programmes and Tech Programmes under one licence at every tier, with competition training inside Tech and Future Pathways admissions guidance across both, instead of single-subject brands stitched together.
A Short Flight From Singapore HQ
Pre-opening training and certification at Singapore HQ, then regular quality reviews by HQ and coaching. Same certification, same standard, every market.
The System You License

Questions

Questions Answered
What territories are currently available?
Availability changes as territories are signed, so the live map on our Global page is the source of truth. Global Partners are being recruited in Hong Kong, the UAE, Indonesia, the United States, Japan and South Korea, and campuses are opening soon in Australia, China, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines and Myanmar. Cities open to Global Partners also include Mont Kiara, Puchong, Subang Jaya, Penang and Johor Bahru in Malaysia; Sydney in Australia; and Shanghai, Beijing and Chengdu in China. Each protected territory is granted to one partner only, so open cities are confirmed on your discovery call.
What is included in the initial investment?
The initial package covers partner and teacher training — including pre-opening training and certification at Singapore HQ — full curriculum licensing and certification, the MagiBox + CRM technology stack, site-selection and fit-out standards, and pre-opening marketing. Exact amounts vary by market and tier, and every figure is confirmed in writing before you sign.
Do you publish revenue or payback figures?
No, and deliberately so. Rent, staffing, local pricing and enrolment ramp differ too much between cities for any honest universal number, so OpenKids makes no payback-period, cash-flow or income promise. The one operating figure we publish is capacity: a mature campus typically serves 350–600 students. The full fee structure is disclosed on enquiry, HQ builds a financial model for your market with you, and every figure is confirmed in writing before you sign.
What local licences are required to open a centre?
Requirements differ by country. In Malaysia, for example, an enrichment centre typically needs company incorporation, registration with the local education authorities, premises and signage licences from the local council, and fire-safety approval. HQ provides a country-specific licensing checklist and walks you through it during setup — operational guidance, not legal advice.
