I think you'll find that these excellent Finnish textbooks are available... in Finnish!

There is a series of maths books in English that are used in the English speaking schools. But I doubt they are available to the general public.

School textbooks are supplied free to children in school in grades 1-9, parents don't have to buy them. Only high-school pupils (grades 10-12) have to buy their own textbooks, and those are in Finnish.

I don't know if theres the missionary school in Taiwan any more, but I cannot see what benefit would be learning Finnish?

Thank for all of your answers!
Sorry for my bad English writing,maybe I don't make it clear.
But my point is K-12 grade textbooks in english edition ,and published by WSOY(the biggest publisher in Finland)
Finnish language is not much work in Taiwan.Instead,Finnish education system is discussed by everyone.That' why I am so interesting.

Yes, but you have to make it clear: WSOY prints Finnish schoolbooks in Finnish for the Finnish curriculum. Why would they print in English? They have books to learn English as a foreign language - for the Finnish students - but no other textbooks like biology or geography.

If you want good texts for children, written in English, find the series called Excel. It is an Australian set and intended for use by tutors or children learning with a parent at home. They are hands down the best for that purpose that I have ever seen and many, many parents buy these to help give their children extra assistance or to help them gain entrance into selective schools.

Thank for your advisement.how could I google the series texts of Excel from Australia? This Excel texts is almost like Microsoft Excel,isn't it?

Thank you! I totally understand why I can't google it out. They never publish English edition!

You said you were a new mum, so I'm assuming you are looking for these textbooks to tutor your child. You do realize that children here don't start school before the age of 7, and parents in Finland generally don't tutor their under school aged children (nor older, for that matter). We do have non-compulsory daycare and kindergarten before that, but the schooling in those are pretty basic. The school therefore assumes that a child entering first grade (that is, a 7 yo) doesn't read, write, or count, beyond basic letter and number recognition (although some children of course do). Finnish school books are therefore aimed at children from 7yo and upwards.

I got it.Finnish textbooks are only for 1-12 grade student, kindergarten children is not included.That's a pity that Finland school books don't have English edition for foriener.
