Academic life

Upper School (ages 14–18)

Students have a choice of academic pathways, culminating in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma or the American High School Diploma. Choices within the curricula include Advanced Placement (AP) and honors-level courses. One-to-one university counseling opens up a world of possibilities and assists our students through every step of the selection and application process. TASIS graduates gain acceptance to excellent universities in the UK, the US, and worldwide.

Middle School (ages 10–14)

During these transitional years, students need guidance and understanding as they change and grow from childhood to adolescence. Students follow a full schedule of core courses (English, Mathematics, Science, French or Spanish, and History and Geography) along with additional subjects that include Technology, Art, Music, Drama, and Physical Education, as well as several other optional courses. The Middle School house system provides many opportunities for students to develop leadership and collaborative skills as they work, play, and socialize with their peers in friendly competitions, charity fund-raising, and community activities. The sports program is designed to encourage participation and skill development.

Lower School (ages 3–10)

The Lower School curriculum is designed to foster the creativity and natural curiosity of young students. The core subjects – Literacy, Mathematics, Science, History and Geography – are supplemented by specialist classes such as Spanish, Technology, Art, Music, Drama, and Physical Education. Educational excursions and field trips complement and enhance the joy of learning through the academic program. As the children work together in the classroom and socialize with their peers in after-school activities, they are guided by the School’s emphasis on Core Virtues such as respect, responsibility, honesty, generosity, and perseverance. Within the Lower School area of campus, the children have their own dining room and playground, a well-resourced library, a dedicated science center, and a MakerSpace classroom designed for exploration of the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) subjects.
