Philosophy and Objectives

Central to the educational philosophy of TIS is the conviction that modern society is enriched
by bringing together children of diverse nationalities, languages and heritages, who by studying,
learning and associating together, are better able to understand and appreciate each other’s
background and cultures.

This means:

• Constant co-operation of the children with different cultural background (sex, age, language, nationality, social background, academic abilities and skills) in order to develop diversity-valuing and tolerant understanding of the world.
• TIS creates a safe learning environment for each child.
• TIS gives a maximum support to each child’s individual development and intellectual growth.
• TIS is open towards social environment around us, and seeks to use all possibilities that the community offers in order to to educate and develop its students.
•  TIS values educational practice that helps to raise a person who is socially and environmentally aware and able to think critically.
• Diverse teaching and learning methodology is used in TIS, including teaching in the compound classes and teaching together students in different levels.
• Using a special methodology to support students whose mother tongue is not English.
• Open and constructive home-school communication.
• Effective, quick and transparent decision-making.
