Tunku Putra places a major emphasis on creating an enriching and extensive programme for the National Curriculum which is mainly taught in Bahasa Melayu.

In line with recent changes to policy by the Ministry of Education, Malaysia , the medium of English is currently used in teaching Science and Mathematics subjects for Primary 1 - 3. Key specialist teachers support the introduction and evaluation of teaching methodology in these subjects and where possible native English speaking teachers handle these classes. 

Learning, reading, listening, speaking and writing of English as a language is taught with an integration of the two syllabuses/ streams - National and International. 

Tunku Putra also offers the national secondary curriculum or Kurikulum Bersepadu Sekolah Menengah (KBSM) for Tingkatan 1 (as at January 2006). This will be extended to Tingkatan 2 in 2007.
