Tianjin International School has been building a solid foundation in education since 1986. We seek to provide an educational experience that integrates the Christian world view with a rigorous academic program. The Tianjin International School is a private school sponsored by MTI, Inc., an American non-profit corporation.

In cooperation with the Tianjin Municipal Education Commission, the school offers an English-language based Junior Kindergarten through Grade 12 program for expatriate students of all religions, races, and national backgrounds. TIS offers an American curriculum and system of instruction that is college preparatory in both scope and level of difficulty. Tianjin International School is more than just a school; it is a partnership with parents to provide quality education for young minds.

About Us: Our Philosophy
We believe in operating, on Christian principles, an educational program that is open to students irrespective of race, color, or creed (except as prohibited). Our courses of study are intended to equip students for living in contemporary human society.

We believe that TIS exists to provide academically excellent learning opportunities within a college preparatory course of study. We do not believe that we can meet the schooling needs of all students.

We believe that the responsibility for education rests upon parents. We believe that the school should assist families in helping their children to develop a sense of their own worth and identity as human beings.

We believe that education is the continuing process through which this awareness develops in an individual as he grows in all areas of his life toward his fullest potential.

Since every experience is a part of that process, our responsibility is to provide the opportunity for intellectual, physical, emotional, spiritual and social growth.

The goal is to prepare the student for matriculation to the next higher level of educational endeavor. required in this is the development of higher level thinking skills and awareness of occupational opportunities.

We believe that education should be broad-based, providing student opportunities in basic core subject areas and as many supplementary enrichment areas as feasible.
