International Secondary School in Ipoh – Cambridge IGCSE

Students can enjoy personal development events like public speaking and social learning talks, participate in national and local competitions - such as coding, robotics, and sports and engage in environmental awareness activities. Our 60 co-curricular activities, part of our C.A.S.E. (Creativity, Action, Service and Enrichment) programme, help students pursue their passions, build friendships, and develop a strong sense of identity and community.
Discover our clubs, sports and opportunities.

Our dedicated team works closely with each Secondary student to guide them on the pathway that suits them best. This personalised support begins in the Primary School and continues throughout Secondary. Along with one-on-one guidance, students participate in the Annual ISP Future Pathways Festival (University Fair), Future Skills sessions, and have access to the Unifrog Education platform. 

All students can attend Future Skills talks and workshops run by university lecturers, on topics from psychology to medicine and from Australia to the US. Some sessions are also run through specialist lessons. There are workshops to help write personal statements for university applications, CVs, personal branding and all students benefit from assistance with applying to local and international universities. These resources help students make informed decisions about their future steps and ensure they are prepared for what comes next.

Our campus-wide House System gives every child the chance to shine beyond the classroom, earning House Points for their talents in sports, environmental projects, community service, and creative pursuits. House groups have been actively enhancing school spirit by organising various events.

They kicked off the year with a 3-on-3 basketball tournament in March, volunteered for Primary Sports Day in May, and helped plan the Summer Festival with the student council in June. They hosted a Captain Ball event, supported Secondary Sports Day in October, and an Inter-House Triathlon. These activities encourage teamwork, leadership, and community among students. With four vibrant house groups - Chimera, Hydra, Cerberus, and Typhon - there's a place for every unique skill and passion.

The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award (DofE) is close to our core philosophy of helping young people build life-long belief in themselves, supporting them to take on their own challenges and follow their passions. 

Our students participate in two levels - Bronze and Silver  - completing activities in volunteering, physical, skills, and an expedition. As part of the Expedition, students take part in an exciting residential trip, in places such as Kledang Eco Forest Park, where they experience the adventure of exploring the outdoors, learn navigation skills, and work as a team in unfamiliar environments. 

We love DofE because it is in line with our core belief to celebrate and champion every young person.  

Tenby Titans is the name of our almighty school sports teams! Join us for games and tournaments as we compete against other schools across Malaysia as part of our AIMS membership in both International and National sporting events. From football, athletics, cross country and swimming to tennis and more, there’s something for every sports enthusiast. With PE sessions twice a week and exciting house competitions and sports days, students stay active all year round.

We encourage our Secondary students to actively engage in the wider school community to broaden their horizons. Along with co-curricular activities students have many chances to step outside their comfort zone and take on responsibilities. School trips foster teamwork and camaraderie, while sports teams help build leadership and organisational skills. Students can also explore their potential through roles such as prefects, participating in musicals or dramas, joining the Student Council, and many other enriching opportunities. These experiences help them grow both socially and academically.

Throughout the year, we arrange day and residential trips to enrich our students' learning outside the traditional classroom setting. In the past our international secondary students have enjoyed trips such as Siem Reap in Cambodia and Malacca and a particular highlight is the annual Sixth Form University Tour. These educational trips are not only great fun but also a valuable opportunity for students to strengthen friendships and develop independence.
