Kuen Cheng High School (KCHS) or SM (Persendirian) Kuen Cheng (Chinese: "坤成中学"), formerly known as Kuen Cheng Girls' High School (Chinese: "坤成女子中学"), is an independent semi-boarding secondary Chinese school in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia which was established in 1908. The school is located at Jalan Syed Putra near The Royal Museum, and is situated between Brickfields and Bukit Petaling.
In 2008, the school transitioned from an all-girls school to a coeducational school. There was some opposition from former female graduates who wanted the school to retain its status as an all-girls school.[1] After becoming coeducational, the school officially changed its name to Kuen Cheng High School. The school is notable for its low acceptance rate, and only primary school students with results above a certain grade threshold are accepted. It is one of the most prestigious high schools in Malaysia, with 58.97% of its students scoring 5As or above in the 2019 SPM examinations.[2]
