Welcome to Kolej Tuanku Ja’afar! KTJ is one of the region’s premier international schools for students aged 3 to 19 years. We have a strong set of guiding principles which are reviewed regularly in consultation with the wider KTJ community. During our 30-year history these principles have evolved to reflect the changing nature of education and the successful growth of the School, but in every iteration they continue to reflect the original aims for the establishment of the School by the Founding Trustees. These original aims included the establishment of a British-style boarding school which was firmly rooted in its Malaysian and South East Asian context; as well as a focus on holistic education, the development of global citizenship, the championing of sustainability and the promotion of diversity and inclusion. The School is accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS), and, as such, we ensure that our guiding principles align with the CIS Code of Ethics.
