HISTORY AND PRESENT

The school started as an expatriate kindergarten that became an international school, Tenby International School (TIS), Ipoh, which later expanded to a private Malaysian school, Sekolah Tenby. TIS, Ipoh is also the first school in the group to offer the Cambridge International A-Level Programme since 2010, alongside the other curricula on the same campus.

Tenby Schools Penang began life as a local kindergarten and a private school, with Tenby International School (TIS), Penang being established in 2007. In 2011, the school moved into its current location, a purpose‑built campus conveniently located in Tanjung Bungah. The school complex is equipped with modern facilities, supported by a strong faculty of teaching staff.

Tenby Schools Setia Eco Park is the first purpose‑built school in the group.
