High School

Welcome to High School! Here’s a glimpse into the buzz and warmth of the high school experience.

During the High School years, we guide students in designing a pathway for learning that supports their academic and personal growth and opens doors for the future. While some schools might measure success when students graduate at 18, we believe that a TISA education is for a lifetime, best measured in the good lives our students live and in the positive difference they make in the world long after they have left our halls. Our TISA High School Pathways provides students with relevant, real-world learning opportunities that support them in making choices for their future.

TISA Pathways

Grades 9-10

Students select from the broad, balanced and rigorous MYP courses: Language & Literature, World Languages, Mathematics, Sciences, Individuals & Societies, Arts, Design and Physical & Health Education. Students also have opportunities to specialize in the Arts and develop their Azerbaijani language or individual interests through our electives in the Arts, Business and Computer Science.

At TISA, we engage our high school students in real-world, relevant learning. This culminates in the MYP Personal Project in Grade 10, a six month independent project exploring an area of interest and culminating in an extended report externally moderated by the IB. At TISA, we take the Personal Project to another level, assessing student products on their growth and their impact on our community.

Grades 11-12

At TISA we believe that learning should support students in designing their future. TISA students can pursue learning in their areas of interest that prepare them for their future.

At the end of grade 10, all TISA students and their families have an individual planning session with our counselor and coordinator to design a pathway that meets their needs. All TISA students pursue the TISA High School Diploma. They also have an opportunity to add the IB Diploma or the TISA Honors Diploma depending on their individual interests and ambitions.

Holistic Student Support

At the heart of the High School Programme is our Advisory Programme, Taking Action Ourselves (TAO). Through TAO, students and parents will find support along each step of the journey. TAO provides 1:1 coaching in small family groups for each of our High School students, opportunities to develop core academic skills and support, including goal setting and targeted support with subject specialists.

TISA Designing Tomorrow

As part of TAO, high school students participate in our Designing Tomorrow programme, exploring and planning for their future. Based on the Stanford Design Your Life framework, TISA Designing Tomorrow provides students with opportunities to explore career pathways through information interviews with professionals in Azerbaijan and beyond. They also connect with TISA alumni, learn about university and careers pathways and develop a roadmap for life beyond TISA.

TISA Global Citizens

Our High School students are engaged in real-world problem solving and inspired to take action now in our TISA community and beyond. Through experiential and service learning opportunities they grow in their knowledge of themselves and develop a strong belief in their personal power to make a difference.
