The <b>Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus</b> popularly known as the Convent, Brewster Road, or simply the Main Ipoh Convent School, is the main English-language girls' school in Ipoh. Now known as Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Convent Ipoh, it was founded by Sister Prudence, a nun belonging to the Sisters of the Holy Infant Jesus (<i>Les Dames de Saint-Maur</i>), back in 1907, with assistance of the missionaries of <a href="http://www.exploring-malaysia.com/st-michaels-church_ipoh" style="text-decoration: none;" title="St Michael's Church, Ipoh">St Michael's Church</a>. Sister Prudence had travelled from Taiping the preceding year to lay the foundation for a school to each Catholic education to girls in Ipoh.</span></span>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="bodytext" style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Classes began at Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus in January, 1907. There were four classes and three teaching nuns on the first year. For the first thirty years of its operation, lessons were given only in English. However, in 1938 the Main Convent school founded St Philomena School to teach in Tamil, followed by Ave Maria School the
same year, to teach in Chinese. Additional schools were established,
namely Marian School in 1957 and Tarcisian School in 1966, all the effort of Sisters of the Holy Infant Jesus.<br /><br />
The main school building of the Convent faces Brewster Road, and came to be known also as the Convent, Brewster Road. It was completed in 1927, with the central wing in 1929 and the rear wing in 1935. The main façade has a row of Neo-Gothic arches over the corridor. Upstairs are trefoil-shaped windows with timber shutters. On the pediment is the figure of Jesus.</span></span><span class="bodytext"> </span></div>
