Curriculum at Chinese Taipei School (Kuala Lumpur)

Instruction follows the Taiwan national curriculum in Mandarin as the primary language. The programme mirrors what students would study in Taiwan: elementary school (Grades 1 to 6) covers Chinese language arts, mathematics, social studies, natural science, health and physical education, arts and humanities, and integrative activities. Junior high (Grades 7 to 9) deepens these subjects and adds electives. Senior high (Grades 10 to 12) prepares students for university entrance, including Taiwan’s national examination system.

English is taught as a subject across all levels, and Bahasa Melayu is included to meet Malaysian education requirements. The school also has dedicated facilities for laboratory science, music, cooking, and dance. The academic calendar follows two semesters: September to January and February to June, aligning with the Taiwanese school year rather than the Malaysian calendar.
