Perak’s two private secondary schools are both in Ipoh, the state capital. Tenby Ipoh and Wesley Methodist Ipoh offer British-style qualifications to families in the Kinta Valley. Ipoh has grown as a residential alternative to Kuala Lumpur, and these schools give local families access to internationally recognised pathways without relocating to the capital.
Private secondary school curricula in Perak
Both schools offer the Cambridge IGCSE and A-Levels, giving students a clear route from secondary school through to university applications worldwide. Wesley Methodist Ipoh also incorporates KSSM, the Malaysian national curriculum, so students there can pursue SPM alongside IGCSE. This dual track is useful for families who want to keep local university options open. For a closer look at each curriculum, browse our curriculum pages.
Private secondary school fees in Perak
Ipoh’s cost of living is lower than KL or Penang, and school fees tend to follow suit. Both Tenby Ipoh and Wesley Methodist Ipoh are positioned below the fees of fully international schools in the state. Contact each school for current tuition rates.
