Welcome to Wesley Methodist School Ipoh (International & Private)!
Rooted in the legacy of Methodist education since 1891, Wesley Methodist School Ipoh continues a proud tradition of nurturing generations through excellence in education and Christian values. With over a century of heritage, we are home to two thriving Schools — Wesley Methodist School Ipoh International (WMSII) and Wesley Methodist School Ipoh Private (WMSIP) — each committed to academic distinction, character formation, and holistic growth.
Our mission is to raise young men and women who are grounded in Godly values, shaped by integrity, and equipped with the courage, wisdom, and compassion to serve others. We believe that true learning extends beyond the classroom, which is why our dynamic, student-led activities and co-curricular programmes play a vital role in developing confident, capable, and community-minded individuals.
Whether in the national or international stream, our students are nurtured to become A.C.E.S. learners — Academically excellent, strong in Character, and actively involved in Extra-curricular pursuits with a heart that is God-fearing. With an emphasis on moral values and a God-centered approach, we empower students to thrive in a diverse, multi-ethnic society.
Join us in shaping lives and transforming the future — one student at a time.

Open Day
Our next School Open Day will be held on Saturday 27 September 2025 from 9am – 1pm. There will be Info sessions with our school principals (International Primary, Secondary and KSSM Private), school tours, Malaysian-themed ‘kampung games’, wau kite-painting and art & craft for students. Students can even have a go at our friendly dodgeball competition where winners will receive prizes. These and more for new families to experience life at WMSI!
Message from the Principal
At WMSI, our mission is to provide every student with an outstanding educational experience — one that enables them to realise their full potential in a supportive and enriching environment.
Our passionate and dedicated educators are committed to making every moment of learning count. We enhance classroom experiences with hands-on activities, field trips, and real-world applications, while nurturing critical thinking and curiosity in every child.
We believe that academic success is important, but character development is essential. Through a wide range of extra-curricular programmes, our students grow in confidence, teamwork, leadership, and resilience — life skills that will serve them well beyond school.
Our values — God-centredness, integrity, respect for life, and excellence with humility — form the foundation of all we do. In a world where values are constantly shifting, we intentionally guide our students toward what is right, good, and lasting. Because if we do not shape their hearts, the world will.
As Rev Dr Ho Seng Ong described us in 1964, WMSII continues to be an “Opportunity School” — a safe haven where students can thrive, grow in character and competence, and become the very best version of themselves.

A Century of Stories: Celebrating 100 Years of Heritage at Wesley Methodist School Ipoh
The school's legacy traces back to 1924 when dedicated missionaries founded it with the mission of providing education to those who needed it most. Over the decades, the school has opened its gate to countless Malaysians, nurturing them to become contributors to nation-building in various capacities. Today, the school continues to honour the vision of its founders: “Impacting Lives and Nation through Methodist Education” Click here for more information
Transforming lives through the Brigade programmes
We believe that children are to be nurtured as a whole person and academic improvement is never separated from personal growth in other areas. Learning in our 2 schools, therefore, emphasises the nurture of a student through a step-by-step academic programme interlaced with strong character development activities. We believe through the Brigade programmes, our students will develop the leadership qualities needed to face the challenges in the 21st Century
