学生在小学经历两个关键阶段：第一关键阶段（1-2年级）以及第二关键阶段（3年-6年级）。

学校在小学阶段遵循英国国家课程，所有儿童都参加国际小学课程（IPC），这是一个全面、按主题、极具创造性的课程，它为每个科目设定了具体的学习目标和明确的学习过程，同时培养国际思维并鼓励个人学习。

IPC课程倡导的以下八个个人目标，即：

• 体贴、道德、韧性、尊重、沟通、询问、合作、适应

小学阶段是学生们第一次有机会接触国际和马来西亚全国范围内更广泛的学校社区，也是发展社会和人际生活技能的关键时期。利用学生生活中的这一重要阶段，学校很自豪能为小学生提供广泛的课外活动，包括体育、音乐和艺术，甚至是专业活动。教师来自学校内部和外部专家，他们在被任命之前都经过充分的审查和评估。

小学生也喜欢各种各样的旅行，以发展和完成课堂上的学习。其中包括4、5和6年级的年度夏令营，这对很多学生来说是他们第一次和同学们一起进行多天的郊游。此外，学校的整个校园House系统为孩子们提供了在课堂之外努力的机会，他们可以通过参与体育、环境工作、社区服务、文化和创意等领域获得House积分。

在中学课程中，学生通过第三关键阶段（7- 9 年级）和第四关键阶段（10-11 年级）的学习，努力完成IGCSE课程及考试。这是教育的一个重要阶段，学生将走向成熟，成为负责任的年轻人，学校鼓励他们成为有韧性、有抱负的人，为自己的决定和未来负责。

在这个关键阶段，学业成绩当然很重要。然而，中学也关乎培养全人发展。正是在这个阶段，学习超越了课堂，对学生的性格产生了更大的影响。为了让学生获得这些软技能，学校创建了"Tenby 学习者"。它由以下十个属性组成：

• 负责
• 有效的沟通者
• 韧性
• 富有同情心

在第四关键阶段结束时，学生将参加剑桥国际普通中学教育证书（IGCSE）考试。

并非所有的学习都以知识为基础，甚至是以特定学科为基础，教师在中学教育中发挥着关键作用。除了为独立学习提供支持系统外，还有责任为学生设定正确的目标，提供个性化的反馈，并确保学生从他们不断变化的学习世界中内化正确的反思和良好的习惯。

学生源于不同的文化背景，也有不同的需求。学校努力帮助所有学生，让他们充分享受学习的机会。

学校设有 TLC（Tenby Learning Centre），主要提供三大支持服务:

• 英语支持 (EAL)：为非母语或需提升英语的学生提供个性化辅导，确保跟上学术进度。
• 特殊教育需求 (SEN)：通过 CAT4 入学测试与进一步评估筛查学习障碍，为有特殊需求的学生提供针对性帮扶，助其融入正常学校生活。

采用 Vircle 无现金支付系统的校园餐厅；配备专业执业护士的医疗室（Sick Bay）；独立男女祈祷室；全校安装 CCTV 监控、门禁管理及 MyConcern 校园安全跟踪系统。

家长参与是学校环境成功的关键，学校坚信，当家长和学校携手合作时，有助于建立一个强大的学习社区，影响并鼓励学生成为最好的自己。

学校的家长协会是一个由家长和教师组成的积极团体，他们定期聚会，策划和并组织各种活动来丰富孩子的教育体验。家长会还为学校筹集资金，改善可用资源，开发并鼓励社区支持的平台。学校组织的一些活动包括节日庆祝活动、年度家庭日、教师节、校服捐赠活动、书籍捐赠等。家长协会也在运动日、游泳晚会和学校音乐会期间为学校提供支持。

Tenby International School Setia Eco Gardens is part of the wider Tenby Schools family. Tenby is one of the pioneers of international education in Malaysia, with a history in the country's education sector spanning almost 60 years.

Tenby operates six schools across Malaysia: the Ipoh campus, the Penang campus, the Setia Eco Park campus, the Setia EcoHill campus, the Tropicana Aman campus, and the Setia Eco Gardens campus featured in this article.

Tenby Eco Gardens is not only an international school offering a British curriculum; it also houses a private school delivering the Malaysian national curriculum. With its excellent teaching, high-quality learning and broad student experience, the school aspires to be the school of choice in the Johor region.

The campus was built in 2013. The international school follows the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) at primary level and the English National Curriculum at secondary level.

The school's focus is on nurturing well-rounded global citizens who have the skills and confidence to compete in modern 21st-century society, together with compassion for others, a reflective mindset and an independent way of life. This is reflected in its learners and in the school's definition of high-quality learning and internationalism.

The staff is made up of highly qualified and experienced local and international teachers, giving students both a local and a global perspective. All staff are committed to ongoing professional development and training in line with best teaching practice.

As a member of the International Schools Partnership (ISP), a major global education group spanning 25 countries, 120 schools and 116,000 students, the school enjoys strong international resources and academic support:

• A student-centred Learning.First™ philosophy: real-time teaching feedback and rigorous assessment ensure students keep progressing through “Good Struggles”.
• EdTech and AI-enabled teaching: all teachers hold AI and educational-technology certifications, weaving digital tools into the classroom to build students' digital literacy and innovative thinking.

• ESG and sustainability education: environmental care, social responsibility and ethical leadership are embedded in everyday teaching and campus operations.

The school's story began in 1960, when Tenby Schools started out as a kindergarten for British expatriates. It quickly grew into one of Malaysia's earliest international schools, the Ipoh branch of Tenby International School, led by Mrs Dorothy Nelson-Doig.

Over the following 40 years, Tenby Schools underwent tremendous change. Today it is one of the best-known brands in Malaysian education, an education group with six campuses across the country.

Tenby Eco Gardens follows the authentic British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, with play-based learning at its core. In a safe and caring environment, it sparks children's curiosity and motivation to learn, laying a solid foundation for the primary years ahead.

1. Three Prime Areas of Development

• Personal, social and emotional development: building confidence and self-esteem, social skills, emotional regulation and respect for others.
• Physical development: improving coordination and control of movement and establishing healthy living and eating habits.
• Communication and language: developing the ability to listen, express oneself and communicate confidently in different situations.

Areas of Learning

Beyond personal, social and emotional development, the Early Years programme also sets out clearly defined areas of learning and goals. The four specific areas are:

2. Four Specific Areas of Learning

• Early English: beginning the journey into reading and writing through phonics, picture books and poetry.
• Mathematical thinking: mastering basic counting, simple addition and subtraction, and an understanding of shape and space.
• Understanding the world: getting to know the surrounding physical environment and community life.
• Expressive arts and design: freely expressing ideas and feelings through painting, crafts, music and dance.

3. Teaching Staff and Approach

• Two-teacher model: every class has two qualified EYFS teachers, giving each child ample individual attention and care.
• Building perseverance and focus: children are guided to persist through exploratory tasks, developing a sense of achievement and self-confidence.

Students progress through two Key Stages in primary school: Key Stage 1 (Years 1-2) and Key Stage 2 (Years 3-6).

The primary school follows the English National Curriculum, and all children take part in the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), a comprehensive, thematic and highly creative curriculum that sets specific learning goals and a clear learning process for every subject, while developing international-mindedness and encouraging personal learning.

The IPC promotes the following eight personal goals:

• Thoughtfulness, morality, resilience, respect, communication, enquiry, cooperation and adaptability

The primary years are the first opportunity for students to engage with the wider school community, both internationally and across Malaysia, and a key period for developing social and interpersonal life skills. Making the most of this important stage in students' lives, the school is proud to offer primary pupils a wide range of extra-curricular activities, including sport, music and art, and even specialist activities. Instructors come from both within the school and from external experts, all of whom are fully vetted and assessed before appointment.

Primary pupils also enjoy a wide variety of trips that extend and complete their classroom learning. These include the annual summer camps for Years 4, 5 and 6, which for many students are their first multi-day outing with classmates. In addition, the whole-school House system gives children opportunities to strive beyond the classroom, earning House points through participation in sport, environmental work, community service, culture and creativity.

In the secondary programme, students work through Key Stage 3 (Years 7-9) and Key Stage 4 (Years 10-11) towards completing their IGCSE courses and examinations. This is an important stage of education in which students mature into responsible young adults; the school encourages them to become resilient and ambitious individuals who take responsibility for their decisions and their future.

Academic achievement naturally matters at this key stage. Yet secondary school is also about developing the whole person. It is at this stage that learning goes beyond the classroom and has a greater influence on students' character. To help students acquire these soft skills, the school created the "Tenby Learner", made up of the following ten attributes:

• Responsible
• Effective communicator
• Resilient
• Compassionate
• Interdependent
• Confident
• Resourceful
• Internationally minded
• Reflective
• Curious

At Key Stage 3 (Years 7-9), the school offers the following subjects:

• English Language and Literature
• Mathematics
• Science
• Chinese
• Physical Education
• Design Technology
• Geography
• History
• ICT
• Music
• Drama
• Art

During Key Stage 4, students have the opportunity to specialise in the subject areas that interest them most. Alongside the four compulsory subjects of Mathematics, English Literature, English Language and at least one Science, students can choose from the following courses:

• Additional Mathematics
• Science
• Chinese
• Malay
• Design Technology
• Geography
• History
• ICT
• Music
• Drama
• Art
• Accounting
• Business Studies
• Computer Science
• Physical Education

At the end of Key Stage 4, students sit the Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) examinations.

Not all learning is knowledge-based, or even subject-specific, and teachers play a pivotal role in secondary education. Beyond providing a support system for independent learning, they are responsible for setting the right goals for students, giving personalised feedback, and ensuring students internalise sound reflection and good habits from their ever-changing world of learning.

Students come from diverse cultural backgrounds and have different needs. The school strives to help every student make the most of their learning opportunities.

The school runs the TLC (Tenby Learning Centre), which provides three main support services:

• English support (EAL): personalised tuition for non-native speakers or students who need to strengthen their English, ensuring they keep pace academically.
• Special Educational Needs (SEN): learning difficulties are screened through the CAT4 admissions test and further assessment, and students with special needs receive targeted support to help them integrate fully into school life.
• Social, emotional and mental health support (SEMH): professionals provide collaborative counselling for students aged 8-17 (working together with parents and teachers) to resolve personal difficulties and strengthen coping skills.

Built in 2024, this dedicated 75,000-square-foot maker space houses an XR (extended reality/virtual reality) lab, a 3D printing and Makerspace area, a computer science lab, a robotics and coding zone (with a VEX competition arena) and a professional Food Technology Kitchen.

A campus cafeteria using the Vircle cashless payment system; a Sick Bay staffed by a qualified practising nurse; separate prayer rooms for boys and girls; and campus-wide CCTV surveillance, access control and the MyConcern safeguarding system.

Parental involvement is key to a successful school environment. The school firmly believes that when parents and the school work hand in hand, they build a strong learning community that influences and encourages students to become the best version of themselves.

The school's Parents' Association is an active group of parents and teachers who meet regularly to plan and organise a variety of activities that enrich children's educational experience. The association also raises funds for the school, improves the resources available, and develops platforms that encourage community support. Events organised include festival celebrations, the annual Family Day, Teachers' Day, uniform donation drives and book donations. The Parents' Association also supports the school during Sports Day, swimming galas and school concerts.
