How to Apply

At Tenby Schools Penang, 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 sixteen years old (for Year 11) on September 1st (for Tenby International School) or 17 years old (Form 5) on 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:
