Kolej Yayasan UEM or KYUEM (formerly known as Kolej Matrikulasi Yayasan Saad) is a Malaysian private boarding school in Lembah Beringin, Selangor, Malaysia.
It was planned by Tan Sri Halim Saad as Kolej Matrikulasi Yayasan Saad (its former name), designed as a residential college modeled after British boarding schools.
It offers an A-Level program under the Cambridge Assessment International Education examination board. It is owned by Yayasan UEM and is a part of the UEM Group.
Overview
KYUEM boards about 525 students, mostly between the ages of 16 and 20. The college is led by a headmaster, who is appointed by the Board of Governors and the Board of Trustees. Each house is overseen by a houseparent, typically selected from the teaching or administrative staff.
Almost all of the school's graduates achieve conditional offers into universities through the UCAS application process, several to Oxford or Cambridge every year and a majority to universities such as University College London, Imperial College London, University of Warwick, London School of Economics, King's College London, University of Edinburgh and The University of Manchester. Some of the graduates studied at universities in the United States such as MIT, UC Berkeley, Princeton University, and Harvard University.[1]
Curriculum
In addition to the core A-level subjects, students must take the IELTS as it is an admissions criteria for universities in the United Kingdom.

- by the Arts Department – Accounting, Economics, English Literature, History, and Geography.
