Alam Shah Science School (abbreviated as ASiS; Malay: Sekolah Menengah Sains Alam Shah) is a boarding science secondary school located in Bandar Tun Razak, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The school was established on 16 June 2003 at the former site of Sultan Alam Shah School, which was relocated to Putrajaya.

History

Sekolah Alam Shah, initially located at Kampung Congo (now Bandar Tun Razak), Cheras, Kuala Lumpur, was relocated after its 40th anniversary in 2003 to a new school complex in Putrajaya. On 16 June 2003, Alam Shah Science School was founded at the site in Bandar Tun Razak, named after the Selangor ruler.

The ASiS campus is located on the outskirts of metropolitan Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. The school site covers 34 acres (14 ha), comprising three administration and classroom buildings, four hostel blocks, one dining hall, one teachers' apartment, one staff apartment, six teachers' quarters and a principal's bungalow.

Facilities include tennis, futsal, football, basketball courts and rugby field shared with Institut Perguruan Ilmu Khas. ASiS is surrounded by education institutions: the Sekolah Menengah Teknik Kuala Lumpur, Sekolah Menengah Sains Selangor, Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Cheras, Institut Perguruan Ilmu Khas, Institut Perguruan Teknik, and the Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. KL Football Stadium, the venue of ASiS' Annual Athletics Day, is also nearby.

The first batch of students, sat for the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia SPM in 2004 with 84 candidates. Each enrolment may cater for over 200 boys and is divided into three intakes.

The first principal was Tn. Hj. Mohd Idrus bin Abdul Hamid, who officially took up the position on the same day ASiS was inaugurated. The administration board remained unchanged until 2011, when Mohd Idrus retired after eight years. The initial faculty comprised thirteen teachers; some of them, like Mohd Idrus, were previously teachers at Sekolah Alam Shah. On 12 September 2003, 12 more teachers were hired. In 2009, there were 51 ASiS teachers and 22 staff. The number of students reached around 500.
