We offer a premium education choice located in an upcoming suburban township in Johor for Early Years, Primary and Secondary-aged students.  Our 19-acre state-of-the-art green campus offers space and a wide range of facilities for children to explore their full potential.  Our purpose-built campus and spacious grounds, complete with modern and well-equipped facilities provide a welcoming, inclusive and exciting work environment.  With a strong emphasis on constant improvement and active participation in such activities, our students are provided with numerous opportunities to gain meaningful experiences.  We celebrate being Asian and love the fact that we combine international thinking to create a diverse and exciting campus.

Our campus is designed to support a diverse range of co-curricular activities including the arts, sports and other intellectually stimulating activities.   Whilst our schools are recognised for excellent academic achievements, we understand that effective learning is more than just academic achievement. We hold firmly to nurturing the whole person and meeting our students’ physical, mental and emotional needs to develop valuable life skills for success.   

We love learning and we are continually getting better. We value being self-reflective, so we can self-improve together to create amazing learning experiences.

ISP in Malaysia

ISP operates Asia Pacific Schools, Straits International Schools and Tenby Schools where we are strategically located covering the Klang Valley, Perak, Penang and Johor within Malaysia. Our experience in educational excellence helps us provide amazing learning experiences for students as young as 3 years up to 18 years old.  The nine (9) ISP schools in Malaysia follow the international school curriculum comprising IGCSE and A-levels, starting at the kindergarten level, while five (5) of the schools also offer the Malaysian National Curriculum.  While the national and international schools and classrooms are separated, facilities and non-curricular activities are shared between the schools.  With over 8,000 students, we have a 60-year history in the country providing education to students and have gained a reputation for excellence and high standards in education.

What unites all ISP schools is a common purpose of enabling moments of Amazing Learning, where a student goes beyond the level they thought possible and amaze themselves with the progress they make. We believe that by providing our students opportunities to learn through a good struggle, they will develop the perseverance and resilience necessary to independently overcome any challenges that lie in their way.
