Tropicana to build Tenby international school campus

KUALA LUMPUR: Tropicana Corp Bhd has entered into a conditional agreement with Tenby Schools to develop a 10-acre international school campus within its latest 863 acres of self-contained mixed township development in Kota Kemuning, Selangor.

It said under the agreement, Tropicana would undertake to build an international school campus with a built-up area of about 225,000 sq ft that could accommodate up to 1,800 students. 

Tenby International School at Tropicana Aman is expected to have its first intake in September 2018, offering international student-oriented programmes for students age three to 18 years old, including international primary curriculum, national curriculum for England, International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) and A-Level programmes.

The first phase of this development would be launched soon.

However, Tropicana did not mention any estimated gross development value in the statement filed with the exchange on Friday. 

The agreement represents Tenby’s seventh international school campus, with five existing purpose-built campuses and one more scheduled to be launched in the country in 2016,

This marks Tropicana’s third venture into the education sector.

In August last year, Tropicana had entered into a strategic partnership with St Joseph International to build a school at the Tropicana Golf & Country Resort, Petaling Jaya. Following that, in January this year, Tropicana signed an agreement to build an international school with GEMS Education in Tropicana Metropark, Subang Jaya.
