International Schools Partnership (ISP) Malaysia. In Malaysia, we operate Asia Pacific Schools, Straits International Schools, and Tenby Schools which are strategically located covering the Klang Valley, Perak, Penang, and Johor areas. Our experience in education excellence helps us provide Amazing Learning experiences for students as young as 3 years up to 18 years old.
Amazing Learning Approach
What unites all ISP schools is a common purpose of enabling moments of Amazing Learning, where students go beyond the level, they thought possible and amaze themselves with the progress they have made. We believe that by providing our students the opportunities to learn through good struggles, they will develop the perseverance and resilience necessary to independently overcome any challenges that come their way.

International Learning Opportunities for Students
We believe that as part of our students’ learning journey it is important that they have the chance to experience learning outside of the classroom and connect with other ISP students. As a global group of schools, our students benefit from being part of a wider international community which provides many additional learning and cultural opportunities that nurture their curiosity, creativity, problem-solving, and communication skills.
