Curriculum & Academic Program

Curriculum Overview

Tehran International School Boys (TIS) offers a globally benchmarked curriculum designed to prepare students for higher education and responsible citizenship in an interconnected world. The TIS curriculum provides a structured and standardized educational pathway, culminating in the TIS High School Diploma upon successful completion of Grade 12.

While the program is academically rigorous and assessment-driven, it strikes a careful balance between high-stakes, end-of-year written summative examinations and continuous, holistic formative assessments through coursework, laboratory work, projects, presentations, and collaborative assignments.
