How to Apply

At Tenby Schools Ipoh, we believe that a child’s attitude towards learning is far more important than aptitude in a specific language or subject area. Therefore, we consider for admission any student who is at least three years old (Early Years) and not older than eighteen years old (for Year 12) on September 1st (for Tenby International School) or January 1st (for Sekolah Sri Tenby) of any academic year.

We strive to be transparent with parents at each stage of the admissions process, and consider all applications on an individual basis, keeping in mind circumstances surrounding each child.

Below is a summary of the admissions process:

If there is a specific area of the school you would like to see during your visit, let us know beforehand and we will do our best to accommodate.

For more information on the assessment, please see our group Admissions Policy below.

There are three possible outcomes to the assessment:
