“Do we still need a school in the 21st century and if so then what role should it play?”
From Plato’s Akademi in Athens to The International School of Agra (TISA), the world has seen a tremendous mushrooming of formal institutions of learning. Schools primarily have been given the responsibility of “socialising” young citizens and equipping them with “skills” for life. This goal has remained fairly constant for the past 4000 years.
Today TISA is a reputed school in Agra which delivers a modern education to a diverse body of students. We offer a pedagogy that not only socialises children with team-building tasks but also develops the mental rigour associated with a world-class CBSE curriculum.
At TISA we follow the I3 Model of Citizenship where our daily routines are organized around a desire to ensure we have equipped and nurtured the student for success in the 21st century.
The Late Ken Robinson, an eminent educationist, had often challenged parents and teachers to think about the necessary traits needed today in a student to set a trajectory for future greatness. TISA, through the I3 model aims for the same with a focus on developing students who “take initiative”, “engage in innovation” and “demonstrate inspiring conduct” in all their endeavors.
The TISA curriculum is well-rounded to both excite and engage students in their classes. Teachers have been selected from across the country. Many are trusted names in the higher education space in Agra. We have attempted to balance the rigorous needs of academic work with the flowering of creative instincts in children.
Our 6 acre campus has key infrastructure in place to support the hard work of our faculty and students. While we believe that the selection of a school for your child should be based on primarily on location, the variation in quality requires you to ask tough questions from the school about their teaching approaches.
Our pedagogical beliefs are four-fold: We believe that students are naturally keen to learn and our job is to keep that alive and directed, We believe in the benefits of the reinforcement of positive behaviour. We believe that all students learn differently and this variation is to be cherished and leveraged while teaching. Finally TISA believes that the student must be firmly in the lead, taking risks in conducting school based activities. This is called an Entrepreneurial Mindset and we are committed to nurturing it.
We welcome you to visit the school and share your views on parenting and schooling.
TISA is a school which is both modern in its educational pedagogy but also confident of Indian heritage.
Give your child the TISA education.
