About this school
Kolej Tuanku Ja'afar (KTJ) was founded in 1989 by members of the Negeri Sembilan Royal Family to combine a British boarding-school education with Malaysian culture. Seventeen Malaysian companies provided the initial loans to build it, and the first students arrived in 1991 under founding principal Laurie Rimmer. The school is run by Syarikat Pendidikan Staffield Berhad, is accredited by the Council of International Schools and is currently led by principal Dr Glenn Moodie.
KTJ takes children aged 3 to 19 in primary, secondary and sixth form sections. Years 7 to 9 follow a version of the English National Curriculum adapted to Malaysia; Years 10 and 11 take IGCSE courses with PSHEE and PE; and the sixth form (Years 12 and 13) offers A Levels, including an 18-month A Level pathway. Each student has a mentor, and English language and learning support are available.
The 80-acre campus is about an hour from Kuala Lumpur and has boarding and day houses. Students come from more than 24 countries, and the school aims to become carbon-negative.
