About this school
Prince of Wales Island International School (POWIIS) in Balik Pulau opened in 2011 and is the secondary and boarding campus of the POWIIS schools in Penang. It is operated by MTT Learning Academy Sdn. Bhd. and overseen by a board of governors; a sister campus in Tanjung Bungah teaches younger children aged 3 to 13.
The Balik Pulau campus takes students aged 11 to 19 on a British-style curriculum leading to Cambridge IGCSE and A Level, giving the two schools together a pathway from Early Years to university entrance. Alongside academics, students are encouraged to find strengths in sciences, languages, humanities, the arts, sport and community service, and everyone takes part in the POWIIS Project under the motto "Be the change, make a difference".
The school describes itself as a culturally diverse, close-knit community with boarding facilities and a strong focus on wellbeing, emotional resilience and safeguarding. Its guiding phrase is "an adventure for the mind and a home for the heart", and the site also covers career pathways and university guidance.
