King Henry VIII College (KH8) was established in 2018. Its sister school, Christ College, Brecon in the UK, was founded by King Henry VIII in 1541 and boasts a distinguished history of nearly 500 years.

At King Henry VIII College, the school ensures that everyone interacts in a way built on confidence, mutual respect, tolerance and encouragement. Each student's interests, skills and needs are recognised and met.

As a school, learning is always at the heart of everything it does. The school is committed to creating a caring environment that helps students achieve their growth goals. This stems from the school's firm belief that when students are in a safe and stable environment, they can gradually build confidence on their educational journey and develop a love of learning. The school hopes every student leaves the campus with a sense of pride in their academic achievements.

Academic achievement matters, but it is only part of the school's strengths. Students can take part in a rich variety of co-curricular activities that cater to different needs. These activities not only nurture students' interests and passions, but also provide valuable opportunities to develop leadership.

The school's specialists and teachers work closely with families to raise young people who go out into the world as kind, considerate members of their communities, ready to contribute and make a difference wherever they are.

KH8's curriculum is based on the British National Curriculum, and its education reflects the philosophy of its sister school, Christ College. The Christ College curriculum is carefully structured to maintain balance across subjects while allowing individuals to play to their academic strengths. First-class teaching, ample resources and small class sizes ensure that students receive a great deal of individual attention. This is also how KH8 teaches.

An appropriate amount of homework ensures that students engage with their subjects from the very beginning, with help provided for those who need it. Every student has a personal academic tutor who closely monitors academic progress and the suitability of the student's programme, and who stays in close contact with parents.

As at its sister school, the school has highly qualified and dedicated staff.

The school's co-curricular activities also contribute to students' development, and the school has excellent facilities for study, performance, sport and personal growth. There are two boarding houses purpose-built for boys and girls respectively. KH8 integrates boarding into its educational offering, providing pastoral care for every student — reflected in the school's values, which regard kindness and inclusivity as the two cornerstones underpinning its education. The school hopes to nurture young learners who bring positive influence wherever they go, growing into pillars of society capable of changing the world.

In addition to teaching spaces designed specifically for the school's curriculum requirements, the school provides students with excellent communal spaces to share their learning and make the most of their time after class. These include study areas, a library and computer facilities, a cafe, a school shop, a 600-seat auditorium, drama and music rehearsal spaces, an indoor swimming pool, a sports hall, squash courts and a fitness centre.

KH8 provides students with an outstanding programme of academics, pastoral care and co-curricular activities, helping them find their purpose in life and grow into global citizens equipped to meet life's challenges.

School Vision

At KH8, the school is dedicated to nurturing and developing respectful, responsible and resilient global citizens who lead active and fulfilling lives.

The school is located in Cyberjaya, Selangor — Malaysia's Silicon Valley — a 40-minute drive from Kuala Lumpur city centre and 30 minutes from Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

There is a convenient commercial district just north of the school, meeting daily supermarket shopping and dining needs. Well-established residential communities lie within walking distance nearby.

The school firmly believes that its students' success extends well beyond the examination hall. It shows they are ready to embrace the challenges of higher education and a fiercely competitive global environment. The school is confident that these high-achieving students will make significant contributions in their chosen fields and make the school proud.

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) covers the school's youngest Nursery and Reception students (ages 3-5). The EYFS provides children of this age with a safe and warm learning environment that meets their developmental needs. Professionally trained EYFS teachers lead children through age-appropriate activities, helping them keep learning through this crucial stage of development.

The EYFS curriculum is modelled on the UK's Early Years Foundation Stage framework, which covers seven core areas of learning and development. Educators use these seven areas to design teaching plans for Nursery and Reception. All seven areas are vital for sparking children's curiosity, fostering a love of learning, building good relationships and supporting their educational growth. Through child-led exploratory learning and engaging themes, the curriculum has been carefully planned and developed to ensure students receive the highest quality learning experience.

Literacy: students are exposed to a wide variety of reading materials, sparking a love of reading and the ability to use language. They are able to write simple sentences, which they can practise independently through themed role play and structured lessons.

Mathematics: the school provides students with plenty of hands-on opportunities to build their number skills, including number recognition, counting, basic addition and subtraction, and understanding of shape, space and measurement. Through themed songs, fun games and interactive activities, students explore and learn in these areas, gradually building confidence.

Communication and Language: students are immersed in an environment rich with language-learning opportunities. Through regularly refreshed themed role-play areas, they build the confidence and skills to express themselves, speaking and listening in a variety of real-life scenarios and imaginative play.

Physical Development: the curriculum is designed to spark students' interest in learning, with interactive teaching activities running throughout the day. Regular PE lessons help students develop coordination, control and movement skills, and swimming sessions are scheduled every week. Students become proficient with stationery and tools, including pencils for writing and scissors for cutting. The curriculum also encourages students to develop sound eating habits, with an emphasis on healthy food choices.

Personal, Social and Emotional Development: through role play, games and interaction, students build a positive sense of self, understand the world around them, and form good relationships with classmates and staff. Along the way, students develop social skills, learn appropriate behaviour in group settings and learn to manage their emotions, thereby building self-confidence.

Key Stage 1: covering Years 1 and 2 (ages 5-7), this stage lays vital foundations in literacy, numeracy and study skills. Through an environment that makes learning fun, students are able to explore a wide range of topics and interests.

Key Stage 2: covering Years 3-6 (ages 7-11), this stage focuses on developing independent learning. Specialist teachers carry out regular, personalised assessments to ensure every student reaches their full potential. Building on the skills acquired in Key Stage 1, engaging lesson content sparks students' curiosity to explore the world.

Primary curriculum: the primary curriculum is based on the British National Curriculum and takes a thematic, cross-curricular approach, with subjects including:

• English
• Mathematics
• Integrated Studies
• Art
• Music
• ICT
• Physical Education
• Health and Economic Education
• Geography

English: English is taught daily as a standalone subject, with a focus on speaking, reading, writing and vocabulary.

In the primary years at KH8, students focus on mastering vocabulary to ensure correct use of grammar in speaking, writing and learning across other subjects. As they progress through primary school, students steadily develop their writing, producing longer pieces in a range of genres with accurate grammar, spelling and punctuation.

Through the school's systematic phonics and language programme, students steadily build reading fluency in Key Stage 1. Once students have mastered reading skills, they move into dedicated guided reading lessons, engaging deeply with texts through literal analysis and inference. This approach not only equips children with reading skills, but also broadens their understanding of a wide range of texts and exposes them to different genres. The school's mission is for every child to fall in love with reading.

Mathematics: KH8 Primary places great emphasis on developing mathematical ability, which is taught daily as a subject. Using a mastery approach, the school helps students build confidence in their understanding of number and calculation, ensuring these concepts lay the foundation for fluency across the mathematics curriculum. In addition, students develop key reasoning skills, enabling them to apply their mathematical knowledge in a wide range of contexts.

Integrated Studies: KH8 Primary's Integrated Studies takes a theme-based approach, with a unit of learning each half term delivering the teaching objectives of the science and humanities curricula. These themes inspire students' learning and help them build an understanding of the world through science, history and geography. Lessons are built around specific objectives from the British National Curriculum; students learn by building on what they already know and are encouraged to develop critical thinking across every topic of study.

• Art: art nurtures creativity and imagination. It gives students the opportunity to express themselves through different media. Students are taught by the school's specialist art teachers and have access to a wide variety of materials for their creations.
• Music: music is taught by the school's specialist music department. Students learn rhythms and songs from different cultures, and have the opportunity to play and listen to a wide variety of instruments.

• Languages: at KH8 Primary, the school offers Malay, Chinese and Spanish lessons. Language lessons focus on developing reading and writing skills, while providing cultural and practical experience in speaking and listening. In Chinese lessons, students are placed into ability groups according to whether their command of the language is at a native or non-native level.
• Physical Education: students take part in PE lessons to develop skills and learn to enjoy sport. They learn how to work both as individuals and as members of a team, and are encouraged to develop a positive attitude towards a healthy, active lifestyle. Students also have the opportunity to enjoy swimming lessons in the school's state-of-the-art indoor swimming facility.

The school's co-curricular programme has had a markedly positive impact on students' lives, building their leadership, social skills and sense of purpose. Through regular participation in co-curricular activities, students develop resilience, independence and self-discipline. Taking part also helps forge strong bonds among peers, as students work hand in hand towards shared goals. With its comprehensive co-curricular programme, the school takes pride in producing graduates who are socially, emotionally and academically capable, and ready for future leadership roles.

KH8 offers students the opportunity to take part in Model United Nations (MUN) and attend conferences within Malaysia. The school regularly stages drama productions and musicals, and students frequently take part in other cultural, artistic and musical events and concerts.

The school places great emphasis on sport. KH8 has a wide array of sports clubs and teams that regularly compete against other international schools in the region.

Some activities extend the academic and PE curricula, making use of facilities or staff expertise that may not be available during regular hours. Many fall within the arts, graphic design and performance, while others are standalone activities offered by talented members of staff — giving students the chance to cultivate hobbies outside the regular timetable.

Students are assigned to one of the school's 4 Houses, and once assigned, they remain in that House throughout their time at the school. Each House has a designated member of staff as Head of House. The House system is an integral part of life at KH8, offering students many opportunities, including:

• Taking part in friendly competition
• Earning rewards for positive contributions
• Building a sense of collective identity and belonging
• Leading and mentoring younger students where appropriate

Staff award House points to students for many reasons — for example: being polite and well-mannered; showing a caring attitude towards peers; working to the best of their ability; putting special effort into a piece of work; showing a positive attitude towards learning; and being helpful to others.

At KH8, the school is committed to providing students with comprehensive support and guidance as they embark on the exciting journey to university. The school understands that choosing the right university and pursuing higher education can be a far-reaching, life-changing decision.

The school's experienced team of tutors, counsellors and educators works tirelessly to ensure every student receives personalised attention and help throughout the entire process.

From exploring diverse academic pathways to shortlisting suitable universities, the school provides a wealth of resources, dedicated workshops and one-on-one counselling to help students make informed choices.

The school gives students comprehensive guidance on entry requirements, scholarship opportunities and application procedures, equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed to present their best selves to university admissions committees. In addition, the school provides full support with essay writing, CV refinement and interview preparation. The school's commitment to its students extends beyond the application stage, with ongoing mentoring to help them settle into university life and succeed in their chosen fields.

The school provides a morning snack and a buffet-style lunch, while boarding students receive three meals and two snacks daily.

At KH8, the school firmly believes that education means far more than academic achievement. It is committed to creating an environment where students can flourish emotionally, socially and personally. At the heart of this philosophy is the school's well-developed pastoral care programme, which provides comprehensive support and guidance for every student.

Pastoral care is central to the school's educational philosophy. The school understands that academic achievement is best realised when students feel emotionally supported and valued. By fostering a safe, supportive and inclusive environment, the school helps students grow fully — academically, emotionally and in character. The school's commitment to pastoral care ensures every student receives the holistic support they need to thrive and excel.

The school offers a unique and enriching experience for students who choose to board. Its safe, supportive and inspiring environment enables young people to excel both academically and personally, while instilling its core values of responsibility, resilience and respect. At KH8, however, being part of the boarding community means, above all, embracing independence.

The school's boarding facilities are first-rate, and in the evenings and at weekends students can use the school's many amenities, including the library, computer labs, sports facilities, swimming pool, sports hall and the 600-seat auditorium (used for rehearsals and evening entertainment). Students also have access to a full range of support services, including dedicated houseparents, resident tutors, academic tutors, counsellors, a nursing team, and cleaning and maintenance teams, all ready to help students make good progress academically and personally.

The school's weekend activities and whole-school excursion programme ensure that students away from home have opportunities to relax, stay engaged, and enjoy exploring the sights of Malaysia.
