The Malayan High School of Science (MHSS), one of the metro's global centers of excellence in secondary education, is committed to provide its students high quality education that enables them to excel in the vast area of science and technology. This characteristic of MHSS is proven by the numerous awards and citations it has received from the different national competitions and activities it participated in and by the performance of its students in various exams, all in MHSS’s five years of existence.
