About Kolej Yayasan Saad
Kolej Yayasan Saad (KYSM) opened in 2000 as an elite fully residential secondary school in Ayer Keroh, Melaka. What sets KYSM apart from other boarding schools is its scholarship model: half of all places are reserved for B40 and M40 Bumiputera students, fully sponsored by government-linked companies including Axiata and Khazanah Nasional. This means the school mixes fee-paying families with scholarship recipients from lower-income households, creating a socioeconomically diverse student body unusual for a school at this price point.
KYSM structures its education around six pillars: academic excellence, English language proficiency, character development, music appreciation, sports prowess, and international exposure. The KYSM Orchestra is a signature programme, and the housemaster pastoral care system provides structured support for all boarders.
Curriculum at Kolej Yayasan Saad
KYSM follows the KSSM national curriculum leading to SPM, and also offers Cambridge IGCSE as a parallel qualification. Instruction is delivered in English and Bahasa Melayu. The six-pillar framework means students spend structured time on music, sports, and leadership alongside their academic subjects.
The Cambridge IGCSE component gives graduates an internationally recognised qualification on top of their SPM results, widening pathways into local and overseas universities.
Fees at Kolej Yayasan Saad
Annual fees at KYSM are approximately RM40,000, covering tuition and full boarding.
