When diplomatic families, international professionals, and global businesses relocate to Tashkent, they discover a city rich in history and opportunity. Among the considerations for these families is finding an educational environment that honours their international perspective while preparing children for an increasingly connected world.
The Tashkent International School (TIS) emerged from this need in 1994, when embassies from the United States, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Germany, and the United Nations recognized the importance of establishing an educational institution to serve their growing international community.
A NATURALLY INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENT
What makes an international school authentic? At TIS, the answer lies in the organic diversity of its community. Students representing 47 nationalities learn alongside one another, creating an environment where cultural exchange happens naturally, from classroom discussions to playground conversations conducted seamlessly in English.
The International Baccalaureate framework provides structure to this global learning experience. The IB curriculum supports critical thinking and developing the whole child. TIS students regularly outperform world averages and have been accepted to highly selective universities as well as universities that best fit their needs. The school’s approach emphasizes authentic language development through immersion, where English becomes not just an academic tool but a living language of community and friendship.
Campus facilities reflect the school’s commitment to comprehensive education—purpose-built science laboratories, arts studios flooded with natural light, and athletic fields that host both daily activities and regional tournaments.
LEARNING BEYOND BORDERS
The school’s co-curricular program reflects its students’ diverse interests and ambitions. From Model United Nations conferences where students represent nations they may have lived in, to robotics competitions that showcase innovative thinking, these activities develop skills that extend far beyond any single subject area.
The athletics program brings together students who may speak different languages at home but share a universal love of sport. Recent achievements in regional basketball and football tournaments demonstrate how collaboration transcends cultural boundaries.
A COMMUNITY INVESTMENT
As a non-profit institution, TIS operates on a simple principle: educational resources are invested back into the learning experience. This approach has enabled continuous campus improvements and attracted educators from around the world who are drawn to the school’s mission and international environment.
The college counselling program reflects this investment in student futures, providing personalized guidance that has helped graduates transition to universities across North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond.
LOOKING FORWARD
For families navigating international careers, schools like TIS represent more than educational institutions—they become bridges between cultures and stepping stones to global opportunities. The students who walk these halls today carry with them not just academic credentials, but an understanding of how to thrive in an interconnected world.
