LOWER SCHOOL

The Lower School promotes the TASIS School Mission through small, self-contained classes. Students enjoy the advantages of consistency provided by a homeroom environment and the advantages of variety through specialist classes in music, art, physical education, foreign language, and library skills. While our program has a strong academic emphasis, TASIS focuses on nurturing creativity and social development in the young child as well. Each staff member in the school respects the intrinsic integrity and individual differences of the child. Through their experiences within a diverse community our children learn to respect and value differences. The curriculum is both traditional and innovative and is supplemented by a variety of social and intercultural learning opportunities. Through all its programs, TASIS endorses an enthusiasm for life, for learning, and for individual growth within a purposeful community.

ADMINISTRATION

The Head of School is in charge of the day-to-day operation of the School and is responsible for hiring faculty. The Head of School is assisted in these duties by the Heads of the Lower, Middle, and Upper Schools. Each school head administers the programs in his/her school section and assists the faculty. Other administrative positions include the Director of Student Recruitment and Admissions and the Director of Sports and Activities.

FACULTY

The faculty at TASIS is the principal means by which the School achieves its purpose, and the prime reason for the School’s reputation for academic excellence. Faculty members are selected not only for their talents and abilities as educators but also for their dedication to young people. They are knowledgeable professionals, diverse in their experiences and backgrounds, but similar in their love of children. It is this love of children that permeates every activity and lesson in the classroom. Full-time faculty are involved in sponsoring after-school activities or coaching. Their contacts with students are many and varied, providing a close-knit community and enriching the life of the school.

SAFEGUARDING

TASIS England is fully committed to safeguarding the welfare of children and young people and expects the same from its employees. All post-holders are subject to a satisfactory enhanced DBS criminal records check and further pre-employment checks.
