Welcome to TISA, The International School of Azerbaijan

We believe that high academic standards, dedicated teachers and outstanding resources are at the heart of the exceptionally fine and truly international educational experience here at TISA. Since its foundation in 1996, TISA has prepared students to be independent, lifelong learners and has developed in them the knowledge, problem-solving skills, values and concepts necessary for success.

We cater for a diverse student body of 2 to 18 year-olds representing over 40 nationalities, and we are proud to be part of a select group of only 140 schools worldwide offering all three International Baccalaureate courses: the Primary Years Programme, the Middle Years Programme and the Diploma Programme. Our examination results are impressive both for MYP and in the Diploma Programme, and our graduates enter some of the world’s leading universities.

Our purpose-built facilities are second to none in Baku: there are science laboratories, computer rooms and libraries, art rooms, music and drama areas, a design technology studio and resource areas as well as a gymnasium, canteen and hall; outdoor facilities include play areas, basketball courts and a sports field. Our students participate in a wide variety of sporting, creative and cultural extra-curricular activities, and we have an extensive community service programme.

I am sure that you will be impressed by all that TISA has to offer and hope that you will have the opportunity to visit us soon.
