Adcote Matrix International School

About Adcote Matrix International School

Adcote Matrix International School occupies a 20-acre purpose-built campus in Sendayan, roughly 25 minutes south of Seremban town centre. The school opened in 2014 with a student-teacher ratio of 25:1 and has grown capacity to accommodate 2,500 students. Seventy percent of its teaching staff are expatriates recruited from the UK, Australia, South Africa and other English-speaking countries, giving the school one of the highest expatriate faculty ratios in Negeri Sembilan.

The campus doubles as a boarding school, housing students aged 12 to 19 in residential facilities with full and weekly boarding options. This combination of a large green campus, boarding infrastructure and a heavily international teaching corps makes Adcote Matrix a regional draw, attracting families from Seremban, Nilai, Putrajaya and even the southern Klang Valley who want a boarding option closer than the Genting Highlands or Johor alternatives.

Curriculum at Adcote Matrix International School

The academic programme runs three tiers. Primary students (Year 1 through Year 6) follow the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), which uses thematic units to build subject knowledge and personal learning goals. Secondary students (Year 7 through Year 11) transition into the Cambridge IGCSE framework, sitting external examinations at Year 10 and Year 11. Pre-university students take Cambridge A-Levels across Year 12 and Year 13, with fees ranging from RM 46,200 to RM 53,130 depending on subject combination.

A distinguishing feature is the Mandarin First Language programme, available alongside the standard English-medium instruction. School hours are 8:15 AM to 3:15 PM. In the 2020 IGCSE session, 20 students secured five or more A*/A grades.
