Our curriculum is proudly academic and well-balanced to ensure the holistic development of students both inside and outside the classroom. 

KTJ Secondary encompasses Forms 1 to 5 (Years 7 to 11) and Sixth Form (Years 12 and 13). Forms 1 to 3 follow a bespoke syllabus based on the English National Curriculum, framed in a Malaysian context. This promotes essential life-long learning skills and builds a platform of knowledge to springboard the students into the future. Students in Forms 4 and 5 study IGCSE courses alongside lessons in personal, social, health, economic education (PSHEE) and physical education (PE). 

Our focus on the future success of KTJ students continues in the Sixth Form through British education's gold-standard A Levels, IETLS and university preparation.

Our academics are underpinned by the KTJ values of integrity, empathy and mutual respect. KTJ provides integrated support for our students' academic, emotional and physical needs. This includes English language and learning support for those who need it. Each student has their own mentor, who teaches content to support the healthy development of our students. This is all complemented by a wide range of co-curricular activities (CCAs) which develop the whole student and ensure they stand out as an individual when applying to university.

Parents can see the success of the KTJ approach through our students who are happy, caring, considerate and reach their full potential academically.

Forms 1 to 3

Forms 1 to 3 are an important period in our students' education as they transition from primary to secondary school. 

For students who come from our Primary School, we liaise closely with our Year 6 class teachers to ensure the transition is smooth both in the preceding months and once the students have begun their secondary adventure. For students new to KTJ, we use all available information from their previous school to ensure that they are given the care, attention and guidance needed to ensure they quickly settle in and adapt to life at KTJ. 

We offer a rigorous curriculum which covers a wide array of subjects ranging from sciences to art, and from music to design technology. The aim is to expose our students to as many different areas of study as possible so they can choose the subjects that best suit them when they come to select their IGCSEs.

Full details of the subjects studied is available in our Middle School Handbook.

IGCSE (Forms 4 and 5)

At KTJ, students who enter Forms 4 and 5 start preparing to take their IGCSEs by pursuing an international syllabus taught by teachers who are innovative and who cater to individual students' needs. 

All students are required to study Mathematics, English, one Science and one language subject, along with up to 5 elective courses. 

While there is a clear focus on academic excellence at KTJ, we also place importance on our students' ability to learn outside the traditional classroom environment. 

To this end, we constantly look for the latest classroom innovations to enhance our students' learning experience and encourage them to explore both group and independent knowledge acquisition. 

We encourage our students, with the support of their parents, to select IGCSEs that are aligned with their individual strengths and areas of interest. Full details of the subjects available are listed in the IGCSE Subject Choices Handbook. The IGCSE examinations are held in May and June of the Form 5 Year. 

Sport

Sport plays a central role in the school’s mission to encourage the development of independent and well balanced individuals. We believe that Physical Education develops our students’ self-confidence, resilience and helps to foster a positive attitude towards physical activity and leading a healthy lifestyle. Students from Forms 1 to 5 will take part in a Physical Education (PE) lesson each week, and students in Forms 1 to 3 also have weekly swimming lessons.
