St John's Institution (GPS: 3.151, 101.70019), nowadays known as Sekolah Menengah St John, is one of the premier schools in Kuala Lumpur. Established on 18 January, 1904, it is also one of the oldest schools in the city. St John's Institution is located on Jalan Bukit Nanas, a short distance from St John's Primary School down the road, and Convent Bukit Nanas up the road. Students of the school are called the Johannians.

St John's Institution is largely a boys school. With the exception of co-educational classes for Form Six, it is exclusively for boys from Forms 1 - 5. The school was founded by Catholic missionaries of De La Salle Christian Brothers Order, named after their patron saint, Jean-Baptiste de la Salle, regarded as the Patron Saint of Teachers. The school sits on a large tract of land owned by the Roman Catholic Church which extends on both sides of Bukit Nanas, and includes the St John's Cathedral and subsidiary organisations.

The school building of St John's Institution was built in 1907. It was gazetted a National Heritage Site on 21 May, 2010.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
