Established in 1960, the TENBY SCHOOLS GROUP operates international and private schools in Malaysia; currently in Tropicana Aman, Shah Alam, Penang, Ipoh, Johor Bahru, and Semenyih. Each campus provides for both primary and secondary international schools. The campuses in Ipoh, Penang, Shah Alam, and Johor Bahru also provide for private schools following the Malaysian curriculum.  

Our vision is “A United World At Peace – Through Education” and is shared by all our schools. We are dedicated to bring together students from different cultures and nationalities and educate them to become the global citizens of the future - young people with respect for one another, confidence in themselves and the determination to become outstanding achievers.

Tenby Schools Ipoh was 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.  TIS, Ipoh 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. With a Nursery to Sixth Form International School and a Kindergarten to Form 5 National School, we are ideally placed to provide parents and students with a range of curriculum choices and future academic career pathways.

Welcome to join us at Tenby School Ipoh.
