Lives in motion.

Our students are the children of diplomats and engineers, performers and athletes, executives and service families, and of anyone whose life asks school to keep up. Here is how TBIS keeps learning continuous, wherever the next chapter is.

Learning to live, to live to learn.

Learning should prepare students for life. Life should continually deepen their learning.

“We learn so we can live with purpose, and we live in ways that give us something more to learn.”
— TBIS Founder

“Learning to live, to live to learn” is the philosophy at the heart of TBIS. We believe education should give students more than academic knowledge. It should develop the curiosity to explore, the discipline to follow through, the confidence to adapt, and the ability to carry learning into whatever comes next.

Family Flex Days

A school year designed around real life.

An extended calendar, very few school-wide holidays and 17 Family Flex Days leave room for observances, travel, competitions, moving house, wellness and the unexpected. A Flex Day is never an absence.

From recognition to a school without borders.

Where we started, where we are today, and what comes next.
