What Our Parents Say

I wish I could have gone to a school like this when I was growing up. My daughter runs to school in the morning and doesn't want to come home in the afternoon. She has fun, and she brings her learning home to me.

— A TOIS Parent with a child in the EYP

Once you teach the IB PYP, you never want to go back to teaching the old way again. The students are genuinely inspired to take control of their learning, and we have a lot of fun on the journey together!

— TOIS PYP Teacher

It is hard for me to believe sometimes how energetically my son is pursuing his school work. He is always asking questions at the dinner table, and relating what he learned that day.

— A TOIS Parent with a child in the MYP

The DP Programme set my daughter on the right track to university. It was extremely challenging, but the teaching staff was absolutely focused on helping her to get to where she wanted to go.
