Inspired Learning for a Brighter Future

Welcome to the KTJ website. Please browse these pages and then contact us to arrange a visit to our outstanding campus set in the midst of the beautiful Malaysian countryside.

Kolej Tuanku Ja'afar has established itself over 20 years as the leading British-style, co-educational international boarding school in Malaysia, with over 600 secondary students from 11 to 19. KTJ is a registered charity so all proceeds are channelled back into the school, which is why we are able to offer outstanding facilities, dedicated teachers and an exceptional education. Students at KTJ achieve superb examination grades, while being able to undertake a wide range of sporting and extra-curricular activities. They are also renowned for their independence and confidence, qualities that stand them in good stead as they progress to higher education anywhere in the world. KTJ also accepts day students, who do not board, and we have a significant number of day students from the surrounding area.

In September 2013, we will open a Primary School for children aged 4 to 11. Initially, this will not have boarding facilities. It will broadly follow the UK curriculum, suitably adapted for Malaysia. Click on ACADEMICS and PRIMARY to find out more or email registrar@ktj.edu.my
