We follow a learning improvement framework which monitors performance against selected criteria proven to best support student learning. This helps us enhance our approach to have the greatest impact on students’ success.
We believe that there are key life skills that all students need to thrive. These include everything from digital literacy to global awareness.
These skills prepare them to adapt to a rapidly changing world, make informed decisions, and build meaningful relationships, setting a strong foundation for lifelong success and fulfilment.
Our students develop these skills over the course of their school years, through learning experiences inside and outside the classroom.
International learning is part of our schools’ DNA. Our students are encouraged to explore a range of world languages.
We ensure all our students can communicate and collaborate confidently in at least one world language, in addition to their home languages.
As part of ISP, students around the world take part in multicultural and multilingual experiences called International Learning Opportunities for Students (ILOS). Whether it’s becoming a United Nations delegate or directing a film, our programmes open the world to every student.
Every experience encourages students to discover their true interests as they prepare to succeed in today’s global society.
Benefit from ISP’s bespoke university and careers-related programme, Future Pathways, which helps students to make informed choices about their future.
We work with each student to explore their academic skills and interests. Then we bring experts in their field to share practical insights and guide students on their next steps to help them reach their university, college, or career of choice

A "good struggle" is like climbing a hill. It's challenging but manageable, requiring determination and resilience. When students face these challenges and overcome them, they not only develop confidence but also cultivate a sense of curiosity that drives their learning.
Jeanne Denyer
Campus Principal
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.
Jeremy
Parent of International School
I feel that it's very important for our son to develop essential life skills, but more importantly, right now he knows what it means to give back to society.
Kenneth
Parent of National Primary
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.
