About Tianjin International School

Who We Are

Established in 1986, Tianjin International School (TIS) is the founding member of  International Schools of China (ISC) with schools in Chengdu, Qingdao, Shenyang, Wuhan, Wuxi, and Tianjin.  TIS offers an American curriculum and a rigorous college preparatory system of instruction, all integrated with a worldview grounded in truth.

Who We Serve

TIS offers a western education service to more than 400 expatriate children and their families in Tianjin and the surrounding areas.  Knowing how important parental participation is in a child's education, we strive to create strong relationships with both the parents and child to ensure a successful learning experience for the child.

What Will They Become

It is our aspiration that students at TIS will graduate as men and women of truth and excellence equipped to impact the world.  Our goal is that through the joint effort of the school and parents, the students  will be:

• prepared for academic, professional, and personal challenges and continuing to learn at the college level and for the rest of their lives
• nurtured to grow up as healthy, whole individuals
• balanced as they explore the world beyond academics
• committed to integrity as they grasp the true meaning of a successful life
  

The Western Education Approach Focuses on:

• Partnering with parents to develop the whole child intellectually, spiritually, physically, socially and emotionally
• emphasizing the meaning of  success as fully reaching one's potentials
• encouraging students to compete against themselves rather than their peers
• developing critical thinking skills versus strict memorization of facts
• preparing students for the global society by exposing them to diverse cultures and peoples and guiding them in their daily interactions with each other
