Kolej Tuanku Ja‘afar clinches another prestigious international recognition for its commitment to provide a nurturing environment for students to thrive

Kolej Tuanku Ja’afar (KTJ) has been awarded the International School of the Year 2023 award by the Boarding Schools Association (BSA). BSA is the largest association of boarding schools in the world and represents 640 boarding schools, 500 of which are based in the UK. The award recognises a leading international boarding school outside of the UK which demonstrates excellence in boarding, facilities and student welfare. KTJ won the same award in 2021. 

Principal Dr Glenn Moodie says: “We are delighted to win the International School of the Year award for the second time. We feel it is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our trustees, staff, students and parents who drive our school community forward. KTJ is totally committed to boarding and to providing students with a rich all-round education which prepares them to be true global citizens and the leaders of tomorrow.”

As a BSA accredited member, KTJ was required to meet high standards for quality of boarding experience, boarding premises, and boarding leadership and management.
