Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Submit the Application and Fee. Parents are required to complete and submit the official application form along with all necessary supporting documents. A non-refundable and non-transferable application fee of RM1,300 per child is also required at this stage.
2. Undergo Entrance Assessments and Interviews. Once the application is processed, the applicant will be invited to participate in an entrance assessment. This assessment helps evaluate the student's academic performance, English proficiency, and potential to thrive within the school community. For students applying from outside Malaysia, online assessments and interviews can be arranged.
3. Receive the School's Decision. Following the entrance assessment and review by the academic team, the school will make an offer of a place. This decision is based on the assessment findings, interview performance, and information provided in the application form. For Year 12 applicants, offers may be conditional upon submission of official IGCSE or equivalent results.
4. Accept the Offer and Prepare for Admission. To formally accept the place, parents must complete and return the acceptance form to the Admissions Office within the specified timeframe. This step also requires the payment of all stipulated fees, including the acceptance fee, tuition fee, and refundable deposit. Once the place is secured, the family will receive onboarding communications and materials to assist with the child's transition to the new school.
The school operates a waitlist system for year groups where places are full. When a student withdraws, seats may be reassigned to students on this waiting list.
The school offers A-Level scholarships based on academic merit for eligible students. These scholarships provide tuition fee waivers, with the value dependent on the student's IGCSE, SPM, or UEC results (e.g., a 100% tuition waiver for 9 A/A or A+/A grades). Recipients of the 100% tuition scholarship may also be eligible for a full boarding fee waiver, subject to interview and availability.
All A-Level Scholars automatically join The Galileo Society, an enrichment program designed to develop leadership, critical thinking, and support for university applications. The application process typically involves submitting a scholarship application form, academic transcripts, a personal statement, references, and attending an interview with an academic presentation.
King Henry VIII College offers a British-style education for students aged 3 to 18, following the UK National Curriculum from Early Years to Sixth Form. Students pursue IGCSE and A-Level qualifications, widely recognized by universities globally. The campus features a range of facilities including an indoor swimming pool, a dedicated sports hall, squash courts, and a 600-seat auditorium for drama and music events. A distinctive aspect of the school is its close sister-school relationship with Christ College, Brecon, a historic independent school in the UK, which informs the college’s ethos and curriculum delivery in Malaysia. Beyond academics, students can participate in a diverse range of co-curricular activities, such as competitive Swimming Squad Training, Coding & Robotics Club, Trinity Drama, Rock Band, and the Duke of Edinburgh International Award.
