Every student in the Middle Years grades belongs to a homeroom class One or two homeroom tutors are attached to each homeroom class and the homeroom system as a whole is overseen by two Pastoral Coordinators who take responsibiity for grades M1 – M3, and M4 – M5.

The homeroom is the class which ‘brings everything together’ for the student in their academic, personal and social development. Through regular contact with students through a planned homeroom programme, registration period, in subject teaching and elsewhere in school life, the homeroom tutor supports students in meeting the intellectual and social demands of adult life, in developing an acceptable set of personal values, and in becoming increasingly capable of making informed choices.

Each week a homeroom period is used to learn about important issues concerning aspects such as personal and social development, academic guidance and further study/career planning. This programme complements the coverage of areas relating to the Areas of Interaction, including Health and Social Education, Environment, Human Ingenuity, Community and Service and Approaches to Learning, in the subjects taught across the MYP curriculum at TISA.
