Teaching at the service of the whole child
Teaching at TIS is more than an evolution, it's a revolution.
The school is a place for the flourishing of work and socialization. It is the high place of learning. Small staff, exceptional supervision. Bilingual teachers (4 languages) very competent, attentive to the student's learning as well as to his or her development.
Every child is different; their pace of development is so too. TIS thus promotes individual follow-up.

Instruction and Education
- Education - Etymology: from the Latin ex-ducere which means to guide, to leave; to get out of oneself, to develop, to blossom
- Instruction, educate: to transmit to the future generation a certain amount of knowledge
- Elitism for all!
- Academic excellence does not rhyme with social excellence!
- KNOWLEDGE is the foundation of TIS pedagogy.
- The well-being conditions the know-how. Children who are happy to come to school are happy to learn.
A school can be benevolent only if it is simultaneously demanding and rigorous.

We must not act on the child but encourage the child to act
Famous personalities from Montessori inspired education:
- The founders of Google , Serge Brin and Larry Page
- The founder of Amazon.com , Jeff Bezos
- Will Wright, the inventor of Sims and developer of Spore and SimCity .
"Montessori taught me the joy of discovery. This showed me that one could be interested in complex theories, like those of Pythagoras for example, playing with cubes. It is about learning for oneself rather than receiving the teaching of the teacher. SimCity is directly derived from Montessori - if you give people this model of building cities they will draw the principles of urbanism.
