Sekolah Menengah Sains Sultan Mohamad Jiwa (English: Sultan Mohamad Jiwa Science School; abbreviated SMadJiwa) is a public boarding school, Sekolah Berasrama Penuh in Sungai Petani, Kedah, Malaysia. It was named after the nineteenth reigning Sultan of Kedah, Almarhum Kebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Sultan Mohamad Jiwa Zainal Adilin II.[1]

History

SMadJiwa was established in 1973 under the Second Malaysia Plan as Sekolah Menengah Sains Kedah.[2][3][4] The school officiation took place on 6 November 1976.[5] In 1984, the school was renamed as Sekolah Sultan Mohamad Jiwa. The inauguration of the new name was made by Kebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Sultan Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah ibni Almarhum Sultan Badlishah, the Sultan of Kedah.

This name was subsequently changed to Sekolah Menengah Sains Sultan Mohamad Jiwa in 1997 and remains until now. Students of the first batch was placed temporarily in several other schools in Perak such as SMK Anderson and SMJK Methodist Girls School and in Kedah such as SMK Khir Johari and Sungai Petani during the construction of the school building.[6]

In 1974, after the building and school complex were completed and certified safe for occupation, the school started to commence its operation with a total of 35 teachers, 60 support staffs and 454 pupils.[6]

In June 1981, the school hosted Kelas Matrikulasi Sains, preparing students for their first year at Universiti Sains Malaysia[7]
