在腾比国际学校Setia Eco Park校区，学校的目标是激发3至5岁学生的自然好奇心，激发课堂内外学习的兴奋和动力。

为了实现这一目标，幼儿园方案采取了有计划的基于游戏的方法，正是通过玩耍，儿童才能投入地学习，同时也使他们有机会从小培养重要的社会和人际交往技能。

幼儿园方案为孩子进入下一关键阶段打下充分的基础。

学校遵循幼儿园基础阶段课程（EYFS，Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum），这是英国的国家幼儿园课程。学校侧重于三个关键的发展领域：

一、 三大核心发展领域

• 个人、社交与情感：培养自信与自尊、社交技能、情绪管理及尊重他人的意识。
• 身体素质发展：提升动作协调与控制能力，建立健康的生活与饮食习惯。
• 沟通与语言表达：培养在不同情境下的倾听、表达与自信沟通能力。

学习领域

除了个人、社会和情感发展之外，幼儿园方案还明确规定了学习领域和目标。这四个具体领域是：

二、 四大特定学习领域

• 英语启蒙：通过自然拼读（Phonics）、绘本与诗歌开启早期读写之旅。
• 数学思维：掌握基础计数、简单加减法及对形状与空间的认知。
• 探索世界：认识周围的物理环境与社区生活。
• 表现艺术与设计：通过绘画、手工、音乐与舞蹈自由表达想法与情感。

三、 师资与教学特色

• 双老师教学制：每班配备两名专业 EYFS 教师，给予孩子充分的个人关注与关怀。
• 培养坚持与专注力：引导孩子在探索任务中坚持不懈，建立成就感与自信心。

学生在小学经历两个关键阶段：第一关键阶段（1-2年级）以及第二关键阶段（3年-6年级）。

学校在小学阶段遵循英国国家课程，所有儿童都参加国际小学课程（IPC），这是一个全面、按主题、极具创造性的课程，它为每个科目设定了具体的学习目标和明确的学习过程，同时培养国际思维并鼓励个人学习。

IPC课程倡导的以下八个个人目标，即：

• 体贴、道德、韧性、尊重、沟通、询问、合作、适应

在中学课程中，学生通过第三关键阶段（7- 9 年级）和第四关键阶段（10-11 年级）的学习，努力完成IGCSE课程及考试。这是教育的一个重要阶段，学生将走向成熟，成为负责任的年轻人，学校鼓励他们成为有韧性、有抱负的人，为自己的决定和未来负责。

教师在中学教育中起着关键作用。除了为独立学习提供支持系统的支持外，他们的责任是为学生设定正确的目标，提供个性化的反馈，并确保学生从学习中内化正确的反思和良好习惯。

然而，在当今不断变化的世界中，并不是所有的学习都是以知识为基础的，甚至是以特定的主题为基础的。虽然学业成绩是中学教育的一个关键目标，但学生最终成为大学学生和职业候选人。

为了获得这些能力，学生应该获得的软技能，学校创建了"Tenby 学习者"。它由以下十个属性组成：

• 负责
• 有效的沟通者
• 韧性
• 富有同情心
• 相互依存
• 自信
• 机智
• 具有国际意识
• 反思
• 好奇

学习的目标是培养在学业、社会、情感和更多方面都获得成功的学习者，并成为独立、自我激励的个人，为下一步的教育之旅做好准备。

在第三关键阶段，学生将学习到以下科目：

• 艺术
• 计算机科学
• 设计与技术 （D&T）
• 戏剧
• 英语语言文学

在第四关键阶段结束时，学生将参加剑桥国际普通中学教育证书（IGCSE）考试。

• Level阶段（17-18岁）

在12年级和13年级，学生即参加剑桥AS-Level和A-Level课程的学习及考试。

学校提供优越的学习环境，在鼓励独立、成熟决策的同时也提供个人关注。从第一天开始，学生们将被引导到一个个性化的、可管理的课程中，以反映他们的兴趣和志向。教师可以随时指导学生的选择和学习，但学生自己有责任掌握自己的发展。

在学业方面，学生可选择多种课程，包括：

• 艺术与设计
• 生物
• 化学

在每门课程中，小班授课让教师有机会深入研究课程，并为优秀学生提供额外指导。学生可以从与老师和同学建立更多成人关系中获益，帮助他们成长为充满力量、全面发展的年轻人。

大学对学生来说是一个变化和成长的时期，学生们发展批判性思维并付诸行动，发展必要的技能，以便在工作世界中成长。为了能让学生适应大学生活状态，积极并深刻的认识自我，学校开设针对大学准备方面的支持。

小班化，专门支持：学生接受个人指导和支持，以充分发挥他们在大学申请中的潜力。除了一名专门负责处理本阶段教育相关事宜的Form 6校长，以及一名协助大学申请的职业指导顾问外，小班制确保教师能够在一对一的基础上指导学生，克服他们可能遇到的任何障碍。

学校还为申请全球和马来西亚大学的学生提供了详细而全面的准备过程。包括访问大学，确保个人陈述和申请为学生提供进入备选学校的最佳机会。

培养全人：A-Level阶段是一个恰当的时机，让学生在学业和个人选择方面承担更多的责任，促进他们走向真正的独立。

学校鼓励学生依据兴趣与职业目标自由选科，并在紧密的师生互动中提升社交能力。学校致力于培养学生的成长型思维——只要具备正确的态度与毅力，就能突破局限、成就自我。通过体验独立探究与付出的过程，学生不仅能收获卓越的成就感，更能建立受益终身的自驱学习习惯。

学校设有 TLC（Tenby Learning Centre），主要提供三大支持服务:

• 英语支持 (EAL)：为非母语或需提升英语的学生提供个性化辅导，确保跟上学术进度。
• 特殊教育需求 (SEN)：通过 CAT4 入学测试与进一步评估筛查学习障碍，为有特殊需求的学生提供针对性帮扶，助其融入正常学校生活。
• 心理健康支持 (SEMH)：由专业人员为 8-17 岁学生提供协作式心理咨询（联动家长与教师），解决个人困扰并提升应对能力。

除课业学习外，学生们近年来还能通过瑞士滑雪、参访美国休斯敦NASA总部、周边国区域游（如柬埔寨、越南、日本）以及全年夏令营与体验游等丰富的学校旅行环游世界。

上述活动还不包括为提高学习能力和配合教学而组织的许多教育日旅行。

学校认为课外活动是所有学生学习生活的组成，并期望学生参与这些活动，作为他们的教育经验不可或缺的部分。学生有机会体验可能成为终身兴趣的活动，同时通过在有趣、积极的环境中迎接挑战来增强成就感。

音乐艺术俱乐部

音乐与艺术能有效提升学生的课堂学习与舞台表现力。学校提供以下专业俱乐部（含部分外聘专家指导项目）：

• 声乐与乐团：Tenby合唱团、Tenby爱乐乐团、初级弦乐团、管乐团、四弦琴俱乐部*、吉他俱乐部*、打鼓俱乐部*
• 舞台与制作：表演俱乐部（学校剧目制作）、技术制作组（灯光与音响）、数字DJ (DDJ) 俱乐部

体育运动将整个学校社区联系在一起，培养了健康的竞争意识和同学情谊，同时使学生增添对于学校和集体的自豪感。

无论是在放学前、课间还是放学后，所有学生都有机会参加他们喜欢的运动，包括：

课外体育活动：一系列广泛的课外活动，包括游泳、网球、田径和足球等流行运动，还包括武术课程、艺术体操、瑜伽、自由式足球和飞盘等更具特色的运动。

竞争性训练：校队代表学校参加吉隆坡国际学校联盟的赛事，取得了巨大成功。学生利用课前、午餐时间、课后和周末进行刻苦训练。

社区体育：由于Form4学生在学校社区中发挥了领导作用，他们组织了Tenby Great Challenges，这是一项为期一天的活动，他们在活动中带领其他学生开展有趣的体育活动。

有些课外活动和旅行是孩子学费的一部分，而有些则需支付额外费用。

在现代社会中，通过构建人际关系、高效沟通以及培养团队协作意识来展现领导力，正变得愈发关键。教育体系普遍认可在青少年时期培养这些素养的重要性。因此，许多学校鼓励学生通过担任以下职位，来锻炼并展现自身的领导才能：

• 男/女学生领袖
• 六年级学生领袖
• 学生会主席及成员
• 学生纪律长
• 环保先锋
• 学院队长

家校合作是构建强有力学习社区、助力学生成长的关键。家长协会作为学校的紧密合作伙伴，以自愿为原则，旨在促进家校及家长间的高效沟通与社会互动，共同维护学生福祉。

家长协会的主要职能

• 活动与资源支持：协助学校活动、校际比赛和出行，并为慈善机构筹款。

• 社区与福祉建设：增进家长间的交流互动，配合校方与学生，共同保障学生权益并践行学校精神。

课后托管服务 (After School Care)：

针对幼龄/低年级学生，学校已提供延伸至下午 6:00 的课外托管服务 (After School Care)。

Founded in 2008, the school belongs to the Tenby Schools family, a well-known Malaysian education group with more than 60 years of history. Tenby operates six campuses across Malaysia (Ipoh, Penang, Tropicana Aman, Setia Eco Gardens, Setia EcoHill and Setia Eco Park).

• ESG and sustainability education: Environmental awareness, social responsibility and ethical leadership are woven into everyday teaching and campus operations.

The school's story began in 1960, when Tenby Schools started out as a kindergarten for British expatriates. It quickly grew into one of Malaysia's earliest international schools, Tenby International School Ipoh, under the leadership of Mrs Dorothy Nelson-Doig.

Over the following four decades, Tenby Schools underwent tremendous change. Today it stands as one of the most recognised names in Malaysian education, an education group with six campuses across the country.

Tenby is a focused, growing and secure group of schools, and every campus:

• Helps children achieve at levels that amaze them.
• Inspires students to succeed now, and to keep succeeding later in life.
• Is truly international, building partnerships across regions, cultures and languages.
• Aspires to be the first choice for children, students and their families.

To be a leading international group of high-quality schools at scale, recognised by local communities and the global education sector, and achieving amazing growth.

• Begin with the students: Students are at the centre of everything; their success is the school's success.
• Care for and respect everyone: Embrace differences and look after one another's wellbeing.
• Work effectively: Focus on what matters most to create the greatest educational value.
• Take financial responsibility: Plan finances prudently and invest precisely in the needs of students and the school.
• Keep learning: Pursue excellence, driven by the desire to keep surpassing ourselves.

The school is located in Shah Alam, Selangor, the state capital of Selangor, Malaysia. It sits within the Setia Eco Park township, about 30 minutes from Kuala Lumpur city centre and around an hour's drive from Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

See the scale bar at the bottom right of the map.

Tenby Setia Eco Park demonstrates a very high academic standard, with a strong overall student cohort. The 2024-2025 IGCSE and A-Level examinations delivered excellent, consistent teaching outcomes and a high level of student performance.

• Average grade: A
• Grades A* to C: 92%
• Grades A* to A: 62%

• Average grade: A
• Grades A* to B: 67%
• Students meeting the entry standard of their target university: 100%

At Tenby International School Setia Eco Park, the aim is to spark the natural curiosity of children aged 3 to 5 and ignite excitement and motivation for learning both inside and outside the classroom.

To achieve this, the Early Years programme takes a planned, play-based approach. It is through play that children engage most deeply in learning, while also having the opportunity to develop important social and interpersonal skills from an early age.

The Early Years programme gives children a thorough foundation for the next key stage of their education.

The school follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, the national early years curriculum of England. It focuses on three key areas of development:

I. Three Prime Areas of Development

• Personal, social and emotional development: Building confidence and self-esteem, social skills, emotional regulation and respect for others.
• Physical development: Improving movement coordination and control, and establishing healthy living and eating habits.
• Communication and language: Developing the ability to listen, express ideas and communicate confidently across different situations.

Areas of Learning

Beyond personal, social and emotional development, the Early Years programme also sets out clearly defined areas of learning and goals. The four specific areas are:

II. Four Specific Areas of Learning

• Early English: Beginning the journey into reading and writing through phonics, picture books and poetry.
• Mathematical thinking: Mastering basic counting, simple addition and subtraction, and an understanding of shape and space.
• Understanding the world: Exploring the surrounding physical environment and community life.
• Expressive arts and design: Freely expressing ideas and emotions through painting, crafts, music and dance.

III. Teaching Staff and Approach

• Two-teacher model: Every class is staffed by two qualified EYFS teachers, giving each child plenty of individual attention and care.
• Building perseverance and focus: Children are guided to persist through exploratory tasks, developing a sense of achievement and self-confidence.

Students progress through two key stages in the Primary School: Key Stage 1 (Years 1-2) and Key Stage 2 (Years 3-6).

The Primary School follows the English National Curriculum, and all children take part in the International Primary Curriculum (IPC). This comprehensive, thematic and highly creative curriculum sets specific learning goals and a clear learning process for every subject, while fostering international-mindedness and encouraging personal learning.

The IPC promotes the following eight personal goals:

• Thoughtfulness, morality, resilience, respect, communication, enquiry, cooperation and adaptability

In the Secondary School, students work through Key Stage 3 (Years 7-9) and Key Stage 4 (Years 10-11) towards the IGCSE programme and examinations. This is an important phase of education in which students mature into responsible young adults. The school encourages them to be resilient and ambitious, taking ownership of their decisions and their future.

Teachers play a pivotal role in secondary education. Beyond providing a support system for independent learning, they are responsible for setting the right targets for students, offering personalised feedback, and ensuring that students internalise sound reflection and good habits from their learning.

Yet in today's ever-changing world, not all learning is knowledge-based, or even tied to a specific subject. While academic results are a key goal of secondary education, students ultimately go on to become university students and career candidates.

To equip students with the soft skills they will need, the school created the "Tenby Learner" profile. It consists of the following ten attributes:

• Responsible
• Effective communicator
• Resilient
• Compassionate
• Interdependent
• Confident
• Resourceful
• Internationally minded
• Reflective
• Curious

The goal is to develop learners who succeed academically, socially, emotionally and beyond, and who become independent, self-motivated individuals ready for the next step of their educational journey.

At Key Stage 3, students study the following subjects:

• Art
• Computer Science
• Design and Technology (D&T)
• Drama
• English Language and Literature
• Geography
• History
• Mathematics
• Modern Foreign Languages (MFL): all students study Malay plus French or Mandarin
• Music
• Personal, Social and Health Education
• Physical Education
• Science

At Key Stage 4, students have the opportunity to specialise in subject areas that interest them most. In addition to four compulsory subjects, Mathematics, English Literature, English Language and at least one science, students may choose from the following courses:

• Accounting
• Art and Design
• Malay (compulsory for students holding a Malaysian passport)
• Biology
• Business
• Chemistry
• Physics
• Business Studies
• Chinese (Mandarin) or French as a Second Language
• Computer Science
• Design and Technology: Resistant Materials
• Design and Technology: Graphic Products
• Drama
• Economics
• Food and Nutrition
• Geography
• History
• Music
• Physical Education

At the end of Key Stage 4, students sit the Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) examinations.

• A-Level Stage (Ages 17-18)

In Years 12 and 13, students study for and sit the Cambridge AS-Level and A-Level examinations.

The school offers an excellent learning environment that encourages independence and mature decision-making while still providing individual attention. From day one, students are guided towards a personalised, manageable programme that reflects their interests and aspirations. Teachers are always on hand to guide students' choices and studies, but students themselves are responsible for taking charge of their own development.

Academically, students can choose from a wide range of courses, including:

• Art and Design
• Biology
• Chemistry
• Computer Science
• Design and Technology
• Economics
• English
• English Literature
• Further Mathematics
• Geography
• History
• Cambridge IPQ
• Mathematics
• Philosophy
• Physical Education
• Physics
• Psychology

In every course, small class sizes give teachers the opportunity to explore the curriculum in depth and to offer extra guidance to high-achieving students. Students benefit from building more adult relationships with their teachers and peers, helping them grow into empowered, well-rounded young people.

University is a time of change and growth, when students develop critical thinking and put it into action, building the skills they need to thrive in the world of work. To help students adapt to university life and gain a positive, deep understanding of themselves, the school provides dedicated university preparation support.

Small classes, dedicated support: Students receive personal guidance and support to realise their full potential in their university applications. Alongside a dedicated Head of Form 6, who oversees all matters relating to this stage of education, and a careers guidance counsellor who assists with university applications, small class sizes ensure teachers can mentor students one-to-one and help them overcome any obstacles they may encounter.

The school also provides a detailed and comprehensive preparation process for students applying to universities in Malaysia and around the world. This includes university visits and ensuring that personal statements and applications give students the best possible chance of admission to their chosen institutions.

Developing the whole person: The A-Level stage is the right moment for students to take on greater responsibility for their academic and personal choices, moving them towards genuine independence.

The school encourages students to choose subjects freely according to their interests and career goals, and to sharpen their social skills through close interaction with teachers. It is committed to fostering a growth mindset: with the right attitude and perseverance, students can break through their limits and achieve their potential. By experiencing independent enquiry and the effort it demands, students not only gain a profound sense of achievement but also build self-driven learning habits that will serve them for life.

The school runs the Tenby Learning Centre (TLC), which provides three main support services:

• English as an Additional Language (EAL): Personalised tuition for non-native speakers or students who need to strengthen their English, ensuring they keep pace with their academic studies.
• Special Educational Needs (SEN): The CAT4 entrance test and further assessments screen for learning difficulties, and students with special needs receive targeted support to help them integrate fully into school life.
• Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH): Qualified professionals provide collaborative counselling for students aged 8-17, working with parents and teachers to resolve personal difficulties and build coping skills.

Beyond their academic studies, students in recent years have travelled the world through a rich programme of school trips, including skiing in Switzerland, visiting NASA headquarters in Houston, USA, regional trips to neighbouring countries (such as Cambodia, Vietnam and Japan), and year-round summer camps and experiential tours.

These do not include the many educational day trips organised to enhance learning and complement classroom teaching.

The school regards co-curricular activities as an integral part of every student's school life and expects students to take part in them as an essential element of their education. Students have the chance to try activities that may become lifelong interests, while building a sense of achievement by taking on challenges in a fun, positive environment.

Music and Arts Clubs

Music and the arts enrich students' classroom learning and stage presence. The school offers the following specialist clubs (some coached by external experts):

• Vocal and ensemble: Tenby Choir, Tenby Philharmonic Orchestra, Junior String Ensemble, Wind Band, Ukulele Club*, Guitar Club*, Drumming Club*
• Stage and production: Performance Club (school productions), Technical Production Crew (lighting and sound), Digital DJ (DDJ) Club

Sport brings the whole school community together, fostering healthy competition and camaraderie while giving students a greater sense of pride in their school and their team.

Whether before school, during breaks or after school, every student has the opportunity to take part in the sports they enjoy, including:

Co-curricular sports: A broad range of activities covering popular sports such as swimming, tennis, athletics and football, as well as more distinctive options including martial arts, rhythmic gymnastics, yoga, freestyle football and frisbee.

Competitive training: School teams represent the school in Kuala Lumpur international schools league fixtures with great success. Students train hard before school, at lunchtime, after school and at weekends.

Community sport: Taking on a leadership role within the school community, Form 4 students organise the Tenby Great Challenges, a one-day event in which they lead fellow students through fun sporting activities.

Some co-curricular activities and trips are included in school fees, while others incur an additional charge.

In modern society, demonstrating leadership through building relationships, communicating effectively and fostering a spirit of teamwork is becoming ever more important. Education systems widely recognise the value of developing these qualities during adolescence. Many schools therefore encourage students to exercise and showcase their leadership through positions such as:

• Head Boy / Head Girl
• Year 6 student leaders
• Student Council president and members
• Student prefects
• Eco champions
• House captains

Home-school partnership is key to building a strong learning community and supporting student growth. The Parents' Association is a close partner of the school. Voluntary in nature, it aims to promote effective communication and social interaction between home and school and among parents, working together to safeguard student wellbeing.

Main Functions of the Parents' Association

• Events and resource support: Assisting with school events, inter-school competitions and trips, and fundraising for charities.
• Communication and information bridge: Strengthening links between parents, staff and school leadership, and sharing key information through events such as coffee and information mornings.
• Community and wellbeing: Fostering interaction among parents and working alongside the school and students to protect student interests and uphold the school's ethos.

After School Care:

For younger and lower-primary students, the school provides an After School Care service extending to 6:00 pm.
