Tenby Schools is proud to unveil the progress of its flagship STEAM facility at its campus in Tanjung Bungah, Penang, which has redefined international and private national education…
…but “what exactly is STEAM learning?”
While STEAM directly means Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics, to us it is an integrated learning approach with the goal to nurture confident critical thinkers who take risks and engage with the ability to solve problems in the real world.
Innovative Curriculum and State-of-the-art Facilities for More Amazing Learning
The innovative STEAM learning approach is seamlessly integrated across subjects in different disciplines and is a part of everything our students learn in school. With state-of-the-art learning facilities in the STEAM Engine like the Robotics Lab, Makerspace, Design Studio, Music Recording Studio and more, students gain hands-on experiences that fuel their creativity and develop the critical thinking skills they need to overcome tomorrow’s challenges.
STEAM Wall of Fame
Think of STEAM as a journey, not a destination. Becoming a changemaker is about so much more than what happens in exams. It’s about having the courage to explore your passions and find a pathway that is uniquely yours.
Hear what our community says about the STEAM learning approach.
“As Business students, we have stepped out of our comfort zone to participate in the 13th Regional Congress Search for SEAMEO Young Scientists. The STEAM learning approach and the learning facilities here have helped us to navigate between subjects and disciplines and thanks to Tenby’s partnership with AIMST University, we have been able to turn our theorical concepts of using bacteriophages (natural viral predators of bacteria) as a sustainable alternative to the overuse of antibiotics under the guidance of professional scientists.”
– Rhea, A’lysha and Melvina, Form 5
“Having a Black Box Theatre on campus has helped to hone my skills in performing arts not just on the stage, but I can also learn how to manage the backstage. I have been involved in the Secondary play of the Addams Family and this has encouraged me to continue performing and to chase after my goals of being a professional actor.”
Julian, Year 8
“One of the most meaningful projects that I have led in the Global Perspective subject was bringing in the Rohingya community for a day of learning together in Tenby Schools Penang. I have learned how to work together with the local non-profit organisations to organise charity events and raise the awareness on the under-privileged community. I can’t wait for the auditorium in the STEAM Engine to be completed so that we can organise more talks and workshops to make a bigger impact in the community.”
– Hannah, Year 11
“STEAM is an empowered version of STEM with the “A” representing articulation. We want our students to be able to articulate their ideas and express themselves creatively. To better prepare our students for the future, we are also working closely with organisations such as TechDome, Penang Science Cluster, Universiti Sains Malaysia and local industry leaders to organise workshops and learning initiatives so that our students get a clear idea of what career pathways they can take”.
– Dr Sathisha, STEAM Coordinator
