Tenby Schools Heritage

Our story begins in 1960, when Tenby Schools first started as a kindergarten for British expatriates. It quickly grew to become one of Malaysia’s first international schools, Tenby International School (TIS), Ipoh, led by Mrs. Dorothy Nelson-Doig and named after her hometown of Tenby, Wales.

Over the next 40 years, Tenby Schools would undergo great changes, just like its adopted home. And, as the number of expatriates stationed in Malaysia steadily fell, we saw the opportunity to introduce the Malaysian Primary School Curriculum (KBSR) alongside the British IGCSE curriculum, becoming one of the first schools in Malaysia to give families the choice of of local or international education on one united campus. Now with six campuses around Malaysia (Ipoh, Penang, Setia Eco Park, Setia Eco Gardens, Setia EcoHill and Tropicana Aman), we’ve gained a solid reputation for excellence in learning, or as we call it 'getting better'.

Today, we are proud to be part of International Schools Partnership - ISP a global community of over 85+ international schools across 23 countries.
