We represent over sixty nationalities. We are a truly international and diverse community: thinking, creating, collaborating, reflecting and learning together.
Our learning is driven by internationally-acclaimed curriculum standards and effective, research-based teaching methods.
We foster student learning intentionally sequentially challenging each individual child.
The richness of the International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes and our emphasis on inquiry-based teaching methods builds understanding, independence and intercultural competence.
TIS is not just any IB school. Our commitment to the IB and our expertise in IB philosophy and teaching practice is deeply rooted at all levels of our organization. Members of our teaching team, leadership team and school board are seconded by the IB as teacher trainers or have worked for the IB in their Global Office.
