Located in the award-winning Ipoh Development, Tenby Schools Ipoh is the most established school in Ipoh and the surrounding areas, serving over 1000 students. Academic results are excellent, but we understand that effective learning is about more than just academic achievement. We develop the whole person by meeting our students’ physical, mental and emotional needs.
Students have the opportunity to develop leadership skills by taking an active role in decision making in the school. This is complimented by participation in MUN and through our parent organization ISP our students have access to a range of global initiatives including international buddy exchange, math challenges, STEM competitions as well creative, artistic, and sporting activities. Our location provides the backdrop for outdoor education with many of our students taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh programme. To further this commitment the school is presently completing its application to become a member of ‘Round Square’ a group focused on holistic education.
At our school, we want to support your child’s development into a capable, well-balanced adult. To achieve this, we draw on our 60-year heritage of educational experience as well as the best of evidence-based pedagogy. Our purpose-designed campus provides students with a conducive environment to learn new skills, discover new interests, and grow in knowledge of themselves and the world around them.
Our holistic approach to education is an effective blend of intellectual endeavour coupled with a broad range of co-curricular activities, which not only facilitate academic excellence but character development as well.
The foundation for academic excellence
We believe in an approach to education that emphasises the active involvement of students in their own learning. This involves helping our students constantly discover new things about themselves and the people and world around them. In this way, students are empowered to be lifelong, independent learners.
Additionally, our experienced staff and faculty actively seek opportunities for students to meet and exceed their potential in all areas of academia. From our Early Years to our A Level classes, students are challenged, supported and guided in order to stretch their capabilities beyond their comfort zone.
This approach has resulted in consistently outstanding results in both our Malaysian National and International schools. We are regularly ranked among the top schools in Perak for UPSR, PT3 and SPM results, while our students at Tenby International School have regularly been recognised as some of the Top in the World in various subjects.
Well-rounded individuals
While academic success is important for university placement and career pathways, it is also important to provide a balance with a co-curricular programme that helps children develop the skills to thrive amidst a fast-changing world.
This includes the nurturing of soft skills such as agility to adapt to changing situations, collaboration with other parties, and communicating with diverse people effectively. We also enable our students to learn leadership skills by providing opportunities for them to initiate ideas and be involved in student-driven projects. Furthermore, we prepare students to be critical thinkers, where they develop the ability to define problems, develop multiple solutions and apply their knowledge in new ways.
It is our experience that students who develop these skills are able to achieve greater levels of learning than standardized tests can measure.
Amazing students
We especially want to inspire children to learn to levels that amaze them. Those moments where students can say “I didn’t realise I could do that until now!” are what we call Amazing Learning moments. When we help them realise that there is always another level to be reached, students will strive to reach that level, and will keep the memory of breaking through with them into their adult life.
We are committed to facilitating students in this journey to becoming better versions of themselves. This will enable our students to develop excellence of character so that they can realise their true potential. And ultimately, a person of excellent character will bring about excellence to all that they do.
At all Tenby Schools, we apply a holistic, evidence-based philosophy designed to build the character of students and empower lifelong, independent learning. With our extensive experience in providing international quality education, our educators are able to challenge students on a personal, individualised basis, enabling exposure to repeated experiences that push students towards true breakthroughs in learning.

They let kids being kids, but at the same time teaching them values and helping them being independent and confident in doing daily tasks.
