Since 1991, Kolej Tuanku Ja’afar (KTJ) has led the way in high-quality, holistic education with an emphasis on the development of responsible global leaders.
The School was founded by three members of the Negeri Sembilan Royal Family, and the idea behind KTJ was based on their personal experiences of studying in top boarding schools in the UK.
The formation of KTJ was a game changer in the Malaysian education landscape, paving the way for holistic, British education which balances academic excellence with character development.
Based on an 80-acre, green campus, KTJ provides students with access to an impressive range of sports facilities including an indoor climbing wall, three swimming pools, five outdoor sports fields for athletics, cricket, hockey, football and rugby, plus badminton, basketball, squash and tennis courts.
Over 100 extra-curricular activities (ECAs) are offered across the Primary and Secondary School, allowing students to discover new talents, develop important life skills in leadership and teamwork, and make lasting memories with their friends. The extensive ECA program includes Coding, Environmental and Sustainability, Golf, Music, Tech Club, STEM and Yoga.
KTJ Sixth Form students are also given the opportunity to bolster their university applications through specialist ECAs and events. These include developing a competitive law or medical application, the annual Oxbridge and KTJ Law Moot, Friday night enrichment talks from expert speakers and national competitions in debate, engineering and public speaking.
