At The International School, students are immersed in Spanish, Japanese, or Chinese while receiving a comprehensive education through our inquiry-based International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme. Rather than following a traditional lesson structure focused on memorization, students explore central themes, ask their own questions, and apply concepts from multiple subjects. This collaborative, inquiry-driven approach helps students develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills—both in English and in fluent Chinese, Spanish, or Japanese.

The International School

The International School’s small class sizes and international faculty create a warm, multicultural environment where students engage deeply in math, science, social studies, and the arts. Now celebrating over 30 years of excellence, TIS serves nearly 400 students from preschool through 5th grade. Children may begin in preschool or kindergarten without prior experience in the target language.
