Tenby International School Ipoh (Primary & Secondary), Ipoh

Introduction

Tenby Schools Ipoh was established in 1960 by Mrs. Dorothy Nelson-Doig to provide quality primary education based on the British system to the children of the British expatriate community in Perak. The school was named after a small seaside resort and fishing village in South Wales, the hometown of Mrs Nelson-Doig, and our first classroom was a small church hall.

Today, we make a tangible difference in the lives of over 1,000 students from 30 nationalities in a purpose-built campus at Bandar Meru Raya built in September 2013. Our campus is home to two schools: Tenby International School, offering Cambridge IGCSE and A Levels, and Sekolah Sri Tenby, offering the Malaysian National curriculum.

Our state-of-the-art campus was designed to provide space for children to explore their full potential. A wide range of facilities includes a full sports complex, design and technology laboratories, a modern auditorium and much more, while a 13-acre green campus provides ample room for over 80 co-curricular activities, and comprehensive music and sports programmes.

Home style boarding house is just less than 1km from campus consists of two secure, two storeys, adjoining townhouses on gated and guarded housing development. There are large, joint social, dining and study areas downstairs as well as two kitchens and laundry areas. Outside is a small, but well-equipped play area with a table tennis table and a basketball hoop.

All the right ingredients in a family-friendly atmosphere. Evening meals are an important time for the boarding house community to get together over a nutritious meal and enjoy each other's company. They are joined for their meals by our student parent(s) with whom they can discuss the day's issues.
