Message from the Principal

The Prince of Wales Island International School, Penang, has a modern vision combined with traditional English boarding school values, especially interpreted for this unique location.

Fundamental to the school is academic endeavour, paramount to our ethos is the education of the whole individual. Students at POWIIS will be challenged to think and to do. Our teachers will have strong academic credentials and a passion for the subjects.

Built to modern specifications, the Prince of Wales Island International School has been designed to offer the best facilities in all areas including science, art, design technology and sport, as well as offering an outstanding venue and opportunities in music and the performing arts within the spacious 500-seater auditorium. Both staff and students will use the comprehensive range of IT facilities on offer.

Support throughout a student's time at POWIIS will come from a committed pastoral system of one-to-one tutoring, supporting academic and personal development and shaping decisions which lead ultimately to applications to top universities in the UK, USA, Australia and worldwide. Initial learning support will be available in English language and for children from different school backgrounds.

As an integral part of the new community of Botanica.CT, students at the Prince of Wales Island International School will be part of an important community of their own in which their contributions will help to shape their own future.
