KOLEJ TUANKU JA’AFAR

Introduction: Kolej Tuanku Ja’afar (KTJ) is one of
the region’s premier international co-educational
schools for students aged 3 to 18 years. We
provide boarding from the age of 11 and enjoy a diverse student population, with
students from over 16 different countries across Asia, Europe, Australia and Africa.

Our aim at KTJ is to build confident, independent and academic high achievers. We
want our students to feel happy, nurtured and encouraged throughout their learning
journey. The concept of KTJ dates from the late 1980s when three members of the
Negeri Sembilan Royal Family proposed that a school which provided the benefits of a
British Public School, but adapted for the needs of Malaysia, be opened north of Negeri
Sembilan. The Secondary School was opened in 1991, and its reputation has flourished
ever since its conception. The success of the Secondary School led to a decision to
open a brand new Primary School in 2013. The two schools are located on the same
campus, where both have the space to operate autonomously, but with the benefit of
shared resources.
