At our International School in Johor Bahru, your child benefits from the best of both worlds. The National Curriculum for England builds a strong academic foundation, while the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) develops global perspectives and essential life skills. Together, they create a learning journey that prepares students to thrive in school and beyond.

Your child's journey is carefully mapped out through two essential stages - the exploratory and fun-filled Year 1 and Year 2 (Key Stage 1) followed by the engaging and growth-focused Year 3 to 6 (Key Stage 2). They'll be guided by highly-qualified teachers, dedicated to nurturing the unique potential in each child.
Exploring worlds through words Â
We inspire a love for reading, writing and storytelling. Students develop skills in reading comprehension, creative writing, grammar and vocabulary. Aswell as using innovative learning programmes such as Talk 4 Writing program, read, Write Inc and English Power Hour, children have daily phonics sessions, children develop strong reading, writing, and communication skills. This approach encourages creativity by using storytelling and interactive activities to build confidence in literacy. Â
Discover, learn and growÂ
Throughout our International Primary Curriculum (IPC) we integrate our Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) approach, engaging students in hands-on, thematic learning. This approach encourages curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving across subjects.
Developing analytical minds Â
Our enhanced lessons encourage logical thinking and problem-solving. Learners study arithmetic, geometry and statistics, later exploring algebra and solving equations. Practical activities build a solid foundation for future learning. The White Rose Maths syllabus, based on the same principles as Singapore Maths, offers a structured way to develop fluency, reasoning, and problem-solving. Lessons incorporate practical tools and interactive activities, making mathematical concepts easy to understand and enjoyable.
Discovering the wonders of science Â
Learners study biology, chemistry and physics through hands-on experiments. They learn about living organisms, materials, forces and energy. Science classes ignite curiosity and encourage exploration. White Rose Science helps students explore the natural world through hands-on experiments and inquiry-based learning. The curriculum promotes curiosity, encouraging children to think like young scientists.
Embracing future technology Â
We learn basic coding, digital literacy, internet safety and use the latest software. Projects enhance problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, preparing us for an ever-evolving digital world. Students develop digital literacy and coding skills using Byte-Ed, while VEX Robotics introduces them to robotics and programming through engaging, interactive activities. These programs help students build essential skills for the future.Â
Tuning into the rhythmÂ
Students immerse themselves in the joy of music by learning an instrument, singing, and participating in performances. These activities foster creativity, self-expression, and teamwork. Students can also learn to play musical instruments with professional instructors during co-curricular activities. 
Growing togetherÂ
Personal, Social & Health Education helps us understand and manage our emotions, build healthy relationships and develop social skills. We learn about mental health, physical wellbeing and our roles in the community. We also open students' eyes to the jobs of people who help us and the possibilities of the world of work.
Fitness firstÂ
Physical Education classes focus on building physical fitness, teamwork, and coordination. Students participate in various sports and physical activities, promoting a healthy and active lifestyle. They also learn to swim – essential for water safety and a fun-filled activity.
MultilingualismÂ
Our core language for learning and communication is English. Students learn a second global language – Mandarin Chinese – and Malay. We encourage students to continue to use their home language and are proud to be a multilingual campus where diverse nationalities, cultures and languages are equally respected. Â

Student leadership opportunities
At our Tenby SEG, our child leadership roles encourage students to take responsibility, grow confidence and develop communication skills.
House communities
Belonging to a house is a big part of life at SEG. From their first day, every student becomes part of Griffin, Unicorn, Dragon, or Phoenix, earning points for their house through excellent effort, behaviour, and achievements. Events like Sports Week bring the whole school together, combining friendly competition with plenty of fun and teamwork.
Learning beyond the campusÂ
Students explore the world through day trips and residential camps, where they tackle new challenges, develop independence, and connect with their peers in unforgettable ways. Whether visiting fascinating places or camping under the stars, these experiences make learning come alive.
Transition from Primary to SecondaryÂ
Starting in Year 5, we make moving to Secondary easy with our Transition Programme. Students meet new teachers, explore new subjects, and build connections long before they start. Parents are part of the journey too, with surveys, workshops, and meet-the-teacher events designed to answer every question and support every step.
Tenby Schools Setia Eco Gardens is a place where saying "Yes, I can!" is just the beginning. Become a part of our transformational community!
