:: The School
Kolej Tuanku Ja’afar was founded in 1991 by YAM Tunku Naquiyuddin, Tunku Laxamana Negeri Sembilan, YAM Tunku Tan Sri Imran and YAM Tunku Dara Tunku Tan Sri Naquaih. It was their inspiration to create a school in Malaysia which encapsulated the abiding strengths of a British-style boarding school. Many leading companies in Malaysia supported the venture and a not-for-profit company was created to administer the School. All the funds generated are ploughed back into enhancing the facilities available for the students.
The trustees and governors are drawn from the founders and debenture-holders of the School as follows:

OUR MISSION
Kolej Tuanku Ja’afar aspires to provide a high-quality secondary education for both Malaysian and international students studying in the local and international streams. We offer equal opportunities for all to benefit from high quality teaching, resources and learning experiences in a caring, secure and stimulating British–style co-educational boarding school.
Our holistic education is intended to encourage the development of independent and well-balanced individuals, helping them to become responsible citizens who are aware of global issues. We encourage students to be self-disciplined and to maximise their potential inside the classroom and in a wide range of artistic, sporting and cultural activities.
KTJ seeks to foster a close-knit community which will reflect the highest moral standards while recognising the diversity of students drawn from a number of different faiths and races. Equal treatment for all encourages students to express themselves and to maximise their potential while they are at school and into the future.
