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

小学阶段是学生们第一次有机会接触国际和马来西亚全国范围内更广泛的学校社区，也是发展社会和人际生活技能的关键时期。利用学生生活中的这一重要阶段，学校很自豪能为小学生提供广泛的课外活动，包括体育、音乐和艺术，甚至是专业活动。教师来自学校内部和外部专家，他们在被任命之前都经过充分的审查和评估。

小学生也喜欢各种各样的旅行，以发展和完成课堂上的学习。其中包括4、5和6年级的年度夏令营，这对很多学生来说是他们第一次和同学们一起进行多天的郊游。此外，学校的整个校园House系统为孩子们提供了在课堂之外努力的机会，他们可以通过参与体育、环境工作、社区服务、文化和创意等领域获得House积分。

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。

在这个关键阶段，学业成绩当然很重要。然而，中学也关乎培养全人发展。正是在这个阶段，学习超越了课堂，对学生的性格产生了更大的影响。为了让学生获得这些软技能，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

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。

并非所有的学习都以知识为基础，甚至是以特定学科为基础，教师在中学教育中发挥着关键作用。除了为独立学习提供支持系统外，还有责任为学生设定正确的目标，提供个性化的反馈，并确保学生从他们不断变化的学习世界中内化正确的反思和良好的习惯。

学生源于不同的文化背景，也有不同的需求。学校努力帮助所有学生，让他们充分享受学习的机会。

学校设有专门的学习中心（The Learning Centre），提供专业的 EAL（英语语言辅助） 课程，以及 SEN（特殊教育需求） 和 SEMH（心理与情感健康） 咨询支持，帮助不同背景的学生顺利过渡。

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。

• 沟通、协同与团队精神是时代赋予年轻一代的重要能力。腾比致力于在早期阶段点燃学生的领袖潜能——通过提供丰富的校园领导力岗位，让学生在实践中学会沟通、建立信任、引领团队，自信拥抱未来的无限可能。

Tenby Schools Penang (TSP) is a member of the Tenby Schools family. Tenby is one of the pioneers of international education in Malaysia, with a history of nearly 60 years in the country’s education sector.

Tenby has six schools across Malaysia: the Ipoh campus, Setia Eco Gardens, Setia Eco Park, Setia EcoHill, Tropicana Aman, and the Penang campus featured in this article.

Tenby Schools Penang is not only an international school offering a British curriculum, but also a private school offering the Malaysian national curriculum. With its outstanding education, high-quality learning and broader student experience, it aspires to be the school of choice in Penang.

The campus was established in 1981. The international school follows the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), with the English National Curriculum adopted at secondary level.

The school’s focus is on nurturing well-rounded global citizens who have the skills and confidence to compete in modern 21st-century society, along with compassion for others, reflectiveness and an independent way of life. This is reflected in its learners and in the school’s definitions of high-quality learning and internationalism.

The school’s staff are highly qualified and experienced local and international teachers who bring both local and global perspectives to students. All staff work continuously to ensure the school keeps developing professionally, in line with best practice in teaching and learning.

As a member of International Schools Partnership (ISP), a major global education group spanning 25 countries, 120 schools and 116,000 students, the school enjoys strong international resources and academic support:

• Student-centred Learning.First™ philosophy: real-time teaching feedback and scientific assessment ensure students keep progressing through “Good Struggles”.
• EdTech and AI-empowered teaching: all teachers are certified in AI and educational technology, integrating digital tools into the classroom to develop students’ digital literacy and innovative thinking.
• Global university partnerships and scholarship support: access to ISP’s partnership channels with more than 100 top universities worldwide, dedicated Future Pathways university and career planning, and university scholarships established by the group.
• ESG and sustainability education: environmental awareness, social responsibility and ethical leadership are woven into everyday teaching and campus operations.

The school was founded in 1960, when Tenby School began operating as a kindergarten for British expatriates. It quickly grew into one of Malaysia’s earliest international schools. The Ipoh campus of Tenby International School was led by Mrs Dorothy Nelson-Doig, who named the school after her hometown of Tenby, Wales.

Over the following 40 years, Tenby Schools underwent tremendous change. Today it is one of the most recognised brands in Malaysian education, an education group with six campuses across Malaysia.

• Sekolah Sri Tenby (private school): offers the Malaysian national curriculum (KSSR/KSSM).

See the scale bar in the bottom right corner of the map.

Tenby Schools Penang performed exceptionally in the 2025 IGCSE examinations, achieving a 100% pass rate. More than half of all grades (51%) reached the top A*–A band, 75% were A*–B, and 89% were A*–C.

• Broad coverage of mid-to-high grades: nearly nine in ten grades (89%) fell in the good-or-better A* to C range, reflecting teaching outcomes that combine excellence across the cohort with balanced development.

Tenby Schools Penang follows the authentic British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, with play-based learning at its core. In a safe and caring environment, it sparks children’s curiosity and motivation to learn, laying a solid foundation for primary school.

1. Three prime areas of development

• Personal, social and emotional development: building confidence and self-esteem, social skills, emotional management and respect for others.
• Physical development: improving coordination and motor control, and establishing healthy living and eating habits.
• Communication and language: developing the ability to listen, express themselves and communicate confidently in different situations.

2. Four specific areas of learning

• Early English literacy: 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 shapes and space.
• Understanding the world: getting to know the physical environment and community life around them.
• Expressive arts and design: freely expressing ideas and emotions through painting, craft, music and dance.

3. Teaching staff and approach

• Two-teacher classrooms: every class has two dedicated EYFS teachers, giving each child ample individual attention and care.
• Building perseverance and focus: children are guided to persist through exploratory tasks, building a sense of achievement and confidence.

Students progress through two key stages at primary level: Key Stage 1 (Years 1–2) and Key Stage 2 (Years 3–6).

At primary level the school follows the English National Curriculum, and all children take part in the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), a comprehensive, thematic and highly creative curriculum that sets specific learning goals and a clear learning process for every subject, while developing international-mindedness and encouraging personal learning.

The IPC promotes the following eight personal goals:

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

Primary is the first time students have the opportunity to engage with the wider school community, both internationally and across Malaysia, and it is a critical period for developing social and interpersonal life skills. Making the most of this important stage in students’ lives, the school is proud to offer primary students a wide range of extra-curricular activities, including sport, music and the arts, and even specialist activities. Coaches come from within the school as well as from external experts, all of whom are thoroughly vetted and assessed before appointment.

Primary students also enjoy a wide variety of trips that extend and complete their classroom learning. These include the annual summer camps for Years 4, 5 and 6, which for many students are their first multi-day outing with classmates. In addition, the school-wide House system gives children opportunities to strive beyond the classroom, earning House points through participation in sport, environmental work, community service, culture and creativity.

In the secondary programme, students work through Key Stage 3 (Years 7–9) and Key Stage 4 (Years 10–11) towards completing the IGCSE programme and examinations. This is an important stage of education in which students mature into responsible young adults, and the school encourages them to become resilient and ambitious individuals who take responsibility for their decisions and their future.

At this key stage, academic results are of course important. However, secondary is also about developing the whole person. It is at this stage that learning goes beyond the classroom and has a greater influence on students’ character. To help students acquire these soft skills, the school created the "Tenby Learner", made up of the following ten attributes:

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

At Key Stage 3 (Years 7–9), the school offers the following subjects:

• English Language and Literature
• Mathematics
• Science
• Chinese
• Physical Education
• Design Technology
• Geography
• History
• ICT
• Music
• Drama
• Art

During Key Stage 4, students have the opportunity to specialise in subject areas they are passionate about. In addition to the four compulsory subjects of Mathematics, English Literature, English Language and at least one science, students can choose from the following:

• Additional Mathematics
• Science
• Chinese
• Malay
• Design Technology
• Geography
• History
• ICT
• Music
• Drama
• Art
• Accounting
• Business Studies
• Computer Science
• Physical Education

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

Not all learning is knowledge-based, or even subject-specific, and teachers play a key role in secondary education. Beyond providing a support system for independent learning, they are responsible for setting the right goals for students, giving personalised feedback, and ensuring students internalise sound reflection and good habits from their ever-changing world of learning.

Students come from different cultural backgrounds and have different needs. The school strives to help all students make the most of their learning opportunities.

The school has a dedicated Learning Centre (The Learning Centre) offering specialist EAL (English as an Additional Language) courses, as well as SEN (Special Educational Needs) and SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) counselling support, helping students from different backgrounds transition smoothly.

The school views extra-curricular activities as part of every student’s learning life and expects students to take part in them as an integral part of their educational experience. Students have the opportunity to experience activities that may become lifelong interests, while building a sense of achievement by taking on challenges in a fun, positive environment.

• Communication, collaboration and team spirit are essential capabilities our era demands of the younger generation. Tenby is committed to igniting students’ leadership potential from an early stage, offering a wide range of leadership roles across the campus so that students learn through practice to communicate, build trust and lead teams, embracing the boundless possibilities of the future with confidence.

Music Clubs

Music is a focus across the whole school, and key extra-curricular activities include:

• Individual piano lessons, individual guitar/bass lessons, individual percussion lessons, individual violin lessons and vocal lessons

Sports Clubs

Students have ample opportunities to take part in the following categories of sporting activity.

Extra-curricular sports: popular sports including swimming, tennis, athletics and football, generally scheduled after school and at weekends.
