Mission: The mission of TCIS aligns with the International Baccalaureate® mission statement:

The International Baccalaureate® aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.

To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programs of international education and rigorous assessment.

These programs encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right. (Source: International Baccalaureate®)

TCIS schools share the mission of building a better world by cultivating young people who are caring and innovative in their approach to learning, both inside and outside of the classroom. Students are encouraged to ask questions and are taught the necessary skills to research, collaborate and communicate their findings to both school stakeholders and the broader community. These skills prepare IB students for success at university and beyond.
