Petaling Jaya (23 April 2015) – Tropicana Corporation Berhad (“Tropicana”) has entered into a conditional agreement with Tenby Schools to develop a 10-acre international school campus within the heart of its latest 863 acres of self-contained mixed township development at Kota Kemuning, Selangor.

 

Under the agreement, Tropicana undertakes to build a 10-acre international school campus with a built-up area of approximately 225,000 square feet that can accommodate up to 1,800 local and international students. Tenby International School at Tropicana Aman, is expected to have its first intake in September 2018, offering international student-oriented programmes for students aged from 3 to 18 years old, including International Primary Curriculum, National Curriculum for England, IGCSEs and A-Level programmes.

 

The collaboration between Tropicana and Tenby Schools is expected to benefit the local community within Tropicana Aman, Kota Kemuning and Shah Alam as it provides access to quality international education at affordable fees. Other townships in the vicinity of Tropicana Aman such as [SP Setia] & Eco World is expected to help drive enrolment for the school.

 

With five existing purpose-built campuses located throughout Malaysia and one more scheduled to be launched in 2016, the agreement represents Tenby’s eighth international school campus.

 

“The agreement marks the beginning of an enduring partnership between Tenby Schools and Tropicana which focuses on providing a holistic environment to learn, live and thrive as a community. This collaboration benefits the children within Tropicana Aman’s community, as well as the community at large.” said Mazhairul Jamaludin, Chairman of Tenby Schools.

 

Speaking at the signing, Dato’ Lim Si Boon, Executive Director of Tenby Schools added, “‘Tenby Schools’ has been providing quality education for more than fifty years and we are committed to moving forward in our plans to enhance the learning environment in all our schools by providing innovative learning tools and state-of-the-art technology for our students. Tenby’s well-established staff development programme ensures excellence in international teaching standards for both the local and international curriculum”.

 

For Tropicana, collaborating with Tenby Schools to construct a purpose-built campus in the 863-acre mixed township of Tropicana Aman reaffirms Tropicana’s DNA of creating ideal and thriving townships that are strategic, well connected and holistic in nature. The presence of Tenby Schools is set to elevate the Tropicana Aman development into a more vibrant and lively community through providing a holistic environment catered to nurturing growing communities.

 

The signing marks Tropicana’s third venture into the education sector. In August last year (2014), Tropicana entered into a strategic partnership with St Joseph International to build a school in Tropicana Golf & Country Resort, Petaling Jaya. In January this year (2015), Tropicana entered into an agreement to build an international school with GEMS Education in Tropicana Metropark, Subang Jaya.

 

Located next to the established and affluent neighbourhood of Kota Kemuning, Tropicana Aman is Tropicana’s latest development as well as its first foray in Kota Kemuning. This self-contained, 863-acre mixed township development offers both commercial and residential components. Tropicana Aman embraces all the DNA of Tropicana in terms of accessibility, connectivity, generous open spaces, security and quality. To promote a lively and healthy “Walking and Biking Community”, Tropicana Aman also features an 85-acre central park rich in flora and fauna traversed by a 7km-long greenery trail for walking, jogging and cycling. Tropicana Aman is designed to provide the ideal place for you to find balance in life, where the yellow bicycle (its development icon) is a reminder that it is time to slow down, breathe in the fresh air and live in a walk and bike-friendly environment.

 

In line with the unique DNA of Tropicana, the township will also house a central community clubhouse with a sports centre and is nearby to amenities, making it an ideally convenient location for residents. Access-wise, Tropicana Aman is well-connected to major highways including Lebuhraya Shah Alam (KESAS), the Federal Highway, Lebuhraya Kemuning Shah Alam (LKSA), Expressway Lingkaran Tengah (ELITE), South Klang Valley Expressway (SKVE) and the upcoming West Coast Highway.
