This research was conducted to study the relationships between academic performance and learning motivation with institutionalised environments and guardian involvement of children reared in a Malaysian orphanage. This study involves 50 students consisting of 21 female and 29 male students. These students are in secondary school with ages ranging from 13-17 years old. This study was conducted in a home for orphans and under-privileged children and all the participants of this study are from this home. The findings of this study hopes to show that there will be a significant relationship between academic achievement and learning motivation with guardian involvement and institutional environment providing further implications on how the home environment affects children’s’ academic and learning motivation outcomes.
