Maktab Sultan Abu Bakar

Maktab Sultan Abu Bakar

Maktab Sultan Abu Bakar, also known as English College (EC) is a premier school located in the southernmost state of Malaysia, Johor. It is located in the bustling city of Johor Bahru and caters for students studying in the secondary level of education in Malaysia.

History

English College was established in 21 March, 1914. Its initial enrolment comprised 21 selected students from the Bukit Zahrah School. The first site of EC was in the area of the Sungai Chat palace. The students were to study under the tutelage of two European teachers namely Mr. Morrison and Mr. Holman. These 21 students were the pioneers of EC and they formed the nucleus of the present English College or Maktab Sultan Abu Bakar. Today, things are very much different, from the increasing number of students, to its expanding facilities and to its stature of being one of Malaysia's premier schools.

From the humble beginnings of the college, Maktab Sultan Abu Bakar has transformed itself into a college that is renowned not only in academia, sports but a variety of other areas, be it interstate or nationally. Many of its graduates go on to become national leaders, successful entrepreneurs and national athletes that not only do the college proud, but also the Malaysian nation.
