Why students at our international and national schools are achieving top grades – and loving the journey

At Tenby Schools Setia Eco Park, success looks different in every classroom - but the results tell the same story. Students in both the British international curriculum and the Malaysian national curriculum finish the year with an average grade of A, a benchmark that puts them among the highest achievers in the region.

Tenby results highlight the strength of both pathways. In the British stream, 97% of IGCSE grades were A*–C, with 65% at A*–A. In the Malaysian stream, 93% of SPM grades were A–C, with 60% at A*–A. In A level, one in three students achieved AAA* or above. 


British international and Malaysian national schools together on one Shah Alam campus  

Families choose between the British international curriculum and the Malaysian national curriculum - both on the same campus in Shah Alam, both delivering top results.  

Students in each pathway benefit from specialist curriculum teaching, dedicated learning spaces and tailored assessment, while still enjoying shared sports, arts, leadership and co-curricular activities. This creates lasting friendships and life skills beyond the timetable.


Nursery and Kindergarten at Tenby Setia Eco Park with English, Bahasa Malaysia and Mandarin    

Both pathways begin in our vibrant Early Years learning spaces, where children aged 3–5 years build confidence through play, outdoor learning and creative projects. Lessons include English, Bahasa Malaysia and Mandarin, giving every child a strong start in two languages. With after-school care available, families have flexibility and peace of mind, knowing children are safe, happy and engaged until the end of the day.  

From there, each stream follows its own timetable and academic focus while students mix for sports, arts, leadership and co-curricular activities.

Both our British international and Malaysian national schools have achieved the top “Mastering” status in ISP’s Learning Improvement Process — making Tenby Setia Eco Park only the second school in the ISP network to reach this level. This means your child learns in a school where every lesson is measured, refined and improved against world-class standards, so they are constantly challenged, supported and inspired to achieve more.


Shared opportunities that inspire every learner  

While each school follows its own timetable, students unite for sport, performing arts, leadership programmes, cultural celebrations and more than 110 co-curricular activities on campus.  

Students also have opportunities to join International School Partnership – ISP signature programme , including International Learning Opportunities for Students (ILOS), which connects Tenby learners with peers from ISP schools worldwide through collaborative projects, challenges and exchanges recognised across the network.  

This unique “third space” – outside the traditional classroom – is where friendships are formed, skills are sharpened and confidence grows.  For Harshini, a Sixth Form graduate, the impact was personal. “The leadership opportunities at Tenby were instrumental in my personal and professional growth,” she says.  

It’s a sentiment echoed by many who credit Tenby SEP with helping them find their voice — whether in debates, drama productions or on the sports field.
