About TIS
- We provide a holistic, age-appropriate educational program to students from pre-kindergarten to grade 12. In addition to our rigorous, college-preparatory curriculum, we provide specialized English language support as well as support for diverse learners. Our students develop strong character, a heart for service, and experience authentic leadership through our wide range of extracurricular and athletic opportunties. Graduates of our school attend world-class universities of their choice.
Academics
- Our student-centered program provides challenging and relevant learning experiences and develops essential skills like analytical thinking, problem-solving, empathy and an appreciation for the diversity inherent in our learning community. Our academic curriculum is based on internationally-recognized learning standards developed by the U.S. State Department Office of Overseas Schools and other research-based educational organizations. Integrated into our academic curriculum is our social-emotional framework, based on the Positive Discipline model, that teaches critical life skills and empowers students to make, and own, constructive decisions. English language learners receive additional support from specially trained teachers to ensure they can take advantage of all learning opportunities. Students with mild learning and social-emotional needs receive support from our specialized staff. At all levels, our approach to learning celebrates academic effort, connectedness with others, and preparation for success in the global setting.
Experience
- Growth results from active involvement and making connections through a wide range of learning experiences. Experiential learning allows students to broaden and discover their interests and talents and to develop the skills needed for future success. TIS students are exposed to a variety of active and creative experiences that challenge and support them as they learn about themselves and develop and appreciate the importance of working and achieving with others.

Governance And History

TIS is a government-owned, non-profit, non-sectarian, coeducational day school established in 1995, originally to provide an educational program for the students of foreign nationalities residing in the TEDA area. Officially, TIS is the international division of TEDA International School which is part of the Binhai-area public school system. Like the schools in that system, TIS is governed by the Binhai Culture and Education Development Office and receives legal oversight and financial approval by the Superintendent of TEDA International School. The Headmaster is responsible for the school and operational leadership and administration of the School and TIS campus.

Decision-making and strategic planning are the responsibility of the Administrative and Academic Leadership Teams. The Steering Committee, a volunteer advisory group consisting of parents, teachers, and a representative from TEDA International School, oversee the development of school policy, and contribute to financial decisions. All school programs are funded entirely through student tuition fees. No subsidies or financial support are provided by the local government.

In 2019 the school underwent a rebranding process and updating its logo and visual identity. Both the new logo and colors are reflective of the school's purpose and locality. The new colors convey the area's connection to both the port and sea, while the logo design reflects the distinctive architecture of the nearby Binhai Railway Station and symbolizes the school's commitment to community, connectedness, and transition. Linked to our vision, mission, and core values, our unique logo embodies these themes:

Community - We are a gathering place for events and activities that bring together people from all over the world; we are a home-away-from-home for our international population
Connectedness - As a diverse international school, our success is dependent on strong, personal connections between students, faculty, and parents
Transition - We embrace change and growth and are committed to preparing our community members for new experiences and opportunities
