TIS' ethos is one that is born out of respect and ‘Three C’s‘ (Care, Co-operation and Courtesy). TIS combines modern resources, technology and child focused teaching with traditional social and moral values. In this calm and respectful atmosphere, students learn to become socially confident leaders with wonderful manners and a passion for learning. |
