EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMME
core programme / professional tracks
We use the best modern teaching practices and hold traditional values at the core to reveal the talent of each child and raise a socially responsible leader of the global world (changemakers).

The cornerstone of our school is the development of entrepreneurial thinking, which involves the development of 21-century skills.
From February 11, the Theodore International Startup Academy (TISA)* is a Candidate School** for the Primary Years Programme (PYP).
This school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. These are schools that share a common philosophy — a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that TISA believes is important for our students.
*School final documentation is under development. Information on this website may be updated.
**Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme, or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted. For further information about the IB and its programmes, visit http://www.ibo.org
