Hello. We are moving to Penang this summer and would need a good, affordable International School for our son. He will be going to 6. Grade. I would be very happy for some feedback. Hard to judge just from the websites and reviews. Thank you.

International school and affordable.

Not in Malaysia.

The "best" in Penang is the Uplands one, the only one that anyone who values their childs education should even consider - it's the "best", I am  not saying it's great but I would send my kids there. Fees 15,000 USD per year - which is cheap in Malaysia.

If you think 1,250 USD per month is  all lot then DO NOT move to Penang. Or Malaysia.

Why isn't your employer (if any) paying? Again a massive red flag if not.
