There is no better place to instill such holistic personal character for your kids than a school such as Tenby Schools. TENBY SCHOOLS IPOH was first established in 1960 by British expatriates who wanted their children to receive high-quality education based on the British system. The school started as an expatriate kindergarten that became an international school, Tenby International School (TIS), Ipoh, which later expanded to include a private Malaysian school, Sekolah Tenby. The School is also the first school in the group to offer the Cambridge International A-Level Programme since 2010, alongside the other curricula on the same campus. In September 2013, the School moved to its new purpose-built campus in Bandar Meru Raya, Ipoh. View full school

Tenby International School at Setia Eco Hills. Teaching and learning are at the forefront of our educational philosophy and through this, we aim to prepare our young learners for the adult world. The essence of this school is that it puts great teachers together with great students. It gives each the resources, facilities, and freedom to get on with learning. It adapts the best of both traditional and modern teaching and assessment pedagogy. Results are constantly reviewed and target set to bring improvement. Education is more than just grades. Grades are certainly the ‘passport’ that students need to move on to the next stage of their lives and that employers will take account of in the future. But, the real art of education is to develop the confidence and self-worth of the young person holding the ‘passport’ that grades provide. Moral values and the soft skills of empathy, communication, team-working and time management are just as important to develop the confidence that is so central to any young person’s future. We hope you will get a real flavor of our outstanding academics as well as our impressive campus. Our focus is on the whole child so we offer a holistic educational approach to ensure we develop all of the children by offering many different learning experiences in and outside of the classroom. We are a very supportive school and we ensure your child is given this to ensure they maximize their potential as they grow and develop throughout the years. Both the Primary and Secondary schools are located on a 14-acre purpose-built campus that is equipped with modern teaching and learning facilities. All Tenby Schools campuses are complete with well-maintained facilities to help us educate students to become compassionate, responsible, and proactive global citizens of the future. The curriculum aims to achieve high standards in English literacy, Mathematics, Science, and Humanities whilst also providing young children with the opportunity to develop skills in the arts and technology. External assessment at the end of Primary education is administered by Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) through the Checkpoint tests. At Key Stage 4 (Year 10 and 11), students choose from a range of subjects from the Languages, Humanities, Mathematics, Science, Social Sciences, Technology, and Arts groups, leading to the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) examinations. The IGCSE is an internationally renowned and recognized qualification for further education. View full school
