About this school
Tenby Schools Penang is part of the Tenby Schools group in Malaysia, which belongs to International Schools Partnership (ISP), a global network of more than 120 schools. The Penang campus takes students aged 3 to 17 and positions itself as a STEAM specialist school, with a 75,000 sq ft STEAM building housing robotics facilities, labs and creative studios.
Families choose between two pathways:
- British International School (ages 5 to 16): an enhanced British curriculum with the International Primary Curriculum in primary, leading to Cambridge IGCSE
- Malaysian National School (ages 7 to 17): KSSR and KSSM with a dual-language approach leading to SPM, with optional HSK Mandarin and IGCSE English
An Early Years programme comes before both. A dedicated English Language Centre helps students who arrive with limited English, and the school puts weight on English, Mandarin and Malay. There are more than 75 co-curricular activities, including VEX robotics, the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, ballet, climbing and team sports. Partnerships with technology providers support coding and robotics, and a Life Competencies framework developed with Cambridge partners is built into lessons.
