The central theme of the mission statement of the school
is the preparation of the young to make informed decisions for them and others during
their lives. As our life path can be defined by a series of our decisions, we need
to understand the mechanics behind decision-making, visualize and analyze each decisions’
consequence and learn to live with each decision.
Keeping the above in mind, the student development program, based on the IB learner
profile, allows for students involvement in school to experience the challenge of
decision-making. Also, the curriculum of has embedded in it academic and non-academic
IB learner profile activities for all age groups of the school. As it is personal
development its progress is jointly monitored by the TIS community (students, TIS
staff, Parents) through written or spoken reflections by the students.
