Just as a master artist intricately combines music, movement, and expression into a dance, schools must combine curriculum, facilities, programs and opportunities in a masterful way to create the most effective learning environment possible.

We are pleased to be able to offer the Alberta, Canada provincial curriculum at all grade levels as the cornerstone to our successful program. Being the first Alberta accredited offshore school, TIS must meet rigorous requirements in order to offer this world class curriculum. In international tests such as the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) test, Alberta students scored the highest marks in reading and were among the top 3 in science and mathematics.

Alberta's commitment to developmentally appropriate pacing, emphasis on English language arts as a foundation all learning, development of fair and consistent assessment practices, integration of technology and the use of certified teachers in the development of curriculum at all levels ensures that Alberta has one of the best education systems in the world.

Students thrive and excel when this curriculum is combined with the multicultural richness at TIS, the latest in educational resources, vast extra-curricular activities and creative and talented staff.

Don't just take our word for it. Families that have returned to their home country report that their children are well prepared for re-entering their former education system:

Rafaniello Family Returns to Australia

Da Silva Family Returns to Brazil

The latest results of Alberta's performance on international testing have also been announced. (http://education.alberta.ca/admin/testing/nationaltesting.aspx)
