Where confidence grows

Tenby students grow skills and self-belief to go further

Malaysia’s leading international schools and private national schools

Malaysia’s leading international schools and private national schools


For more than 60 years, Tenby students have built the confidence and capability to go further - achieving strong results, developing skills for life and progressing to leading universities in Malaysia and around the world.

At Tenby, your child can follow the British international curriculum or, at selected campuses, the Malaysian national curriculum, supported by dedicated teachers who help them make strong progress at every stage.

As part of International Schools Partnership - ISP, Tenby uses Learning.First™ - a shared approach that helps students understand how they learn, not just what they learn. They grow through the right challenges and grow the confidence to chart their own path.
