Tenby International School

The school follows a 'Learning.First' approach, which focuses on academic excellence, character development, and the cultivation of life skills. It aims to foster a diverse, inclusive community where students develop curiosity, confidence, and resilience to thrive in a global environment. The school emphasizes a partnership between parents and teachers to support student potential.

The school offers two main pathways: the International School, which follows the National Curriculum for England and the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), leading to IGCSEs and Cambridge A-levels; and the Private National School, which follows the Malaysian KSSR and KSSM curricula, leading to SPM examinations. Early Years education (ages 2-5) is provided in a trilingual environment (English, Mandarin, and Malay) using play-based learning. The National school also incorporates the Dual Language Programme (DLP) to enhance English proficiency.

Students consistently achieve high results in examinations, with the International school reporting a 99% pass rate in IGCSEs and the National school achieving strong performance in SPM examinations. Graduates are supported by a Future Pathways programme, which provides guidance on university applications and career choices to help students transition to higher education and professional life.

The school provides a Learning Centre where students can access a counsellor for psychological and emotional support. Safeguarding is managed through the MyConcern tracking system, supervised single-entry points, and CCTV monitoring, with all staff undergoing rigorous vetting and training.

The school accepts applications throughout the year, subject to availability. The process involves an enquiry, a school visit, submission of documentation, and an assessment or interview to determine placement. Successful applicants receive an offer letter, which is secured upon payment of the registration fee and deposit.

The academic year is divided into three terms. The school calendar includes public holidays, mid-term breaks, and staff INSET days. Term dates vary slightly between the International and National school programmes.
