I've had many positive experiences with teachers who are proactive in identifying areas where students need additional support. They're not just focused on delivering lessons and marking essays; they genuinely care about their students' well-being.

Tenby's science programme is a great blend of hands-on, project-based learning and inquiry-based learning. We delve into the world through practical applications, like designing rockets, fostering teamwork and critical thinking.
Yaseen
Head of Science, Secondary International
One of the reasons we chose Tenby over other international schools is its unique structure. Tenby offers both an international school and a national school within the same campus. This allows our children to connect more deeply with the multicultural society of Malaysia, which we believe is invaluable.
