The International School of Azerbaijan (TISA) is a secular college-preparatory international day school in Baku, Azerbaijan. It was founded in 1996 and admits pupils between the age of 2 and 18. The school is located in a purpose-built facility in a residential community on the outskirts of Baku.[1]
The school provides an English-medium curriculum based on the International Baccalaureate and offers IB Primary Years, Middle Years, and Diploma Programmes. It is accredited by the Azerbaijani Education Ministry and the IBO.[2][1] TISA serves both the expatriate and local community, and the school mandates Azerbaijani language for domestic students.[1]
Students take part in a variety of Central & Eastern European Schools Association (CEESA) and other International events each school year. These include sports like football, basketball, swimming and volleyball. They also have extracurricular activity events such as Speech & Debate and Model United Nations. Each year, TISA hosts international events.
Clubs
[edit]TISA officially has football, volleyball and basketball clubs. There are student-created clubs too, which include a baseball club and a coding club.
