Secondary School

After six years of primary school, students have the opportunity to further their studies in secondary school. Secondary education takes five years, and comprises Lower secondary education (Form 1 to Form 3) and Upper secondary education (Form 4 to Form 5). A wider range of subjects are offered and students can opt for a Science or Arts stream or a combination.

This school prepare students for two public examinations, namely the PT3 (Form 3 Assessment), and the SPM (Malaysian Certificate of Education) at Form 5. All these examinations are conducted by the Malaysian Examinations Syndicate (Lembaga Peperiksaan Malaysia). Few private schools offer the Malaysian Higher School Certificate (STPM) in the Sixth Form, opting instead to offer the A Levels or other alternatives.

All private schools use the National Curriculum for primary and secondary education, as required by the Education Act 1996. The Malaysian curriculum for schools include the Primary School Standard Curriculum or KSSR (Kurikulum Standard Sekolah Rendah) and the Secondary Schools Standard Curriculum for KSSM (Kurikulum Standard Sekolah Menengah). These are revised curriculums introduced to ensure that students have the relevant knowledge, skills and values to face the challenges of the 21st century. As such, there is an emphasis on inculcating creative thinking, innovation, and problem solving and leadership skills in students. In addition, the Ministry of Education plans to introduce an “accelerated learning pathway” for high-performing students who may be able to complete their school years in a shorter time.
