TIS is unique in the Portland area for having 3 immersion languages and IBPYP. In fact, it is one of a handful of immersion private schools in the US to offer PYP. The teachers in the languages are all native speakers, so our child has been exposed to several different cultures and dialects and her Spanish is so authentic that native speakers are surprised to learn she lives with two non-speakers. The academics are excellent, with teachers emphasizing STEM through projects and interactive education. Their commitment to diversity and inclusion is important, although limited by Portland demographics, and the Learner Profiles and teachers emphasize cultural diversity through the units of inquiry, field trips, guest speakers and homework assignments. As an institution TIS impresses me most with it commitment to visibility and communication. When a new situation or problem arises, the administration does not ignore it or pretend to have all the answers; they acknowledge the issue, gather information and seek the opinion of parents, and formulate a response that accommodates the faculty, parents, community and serves TIS’ values.
We loved having our children go to TIS. The small class sizes in the Japanese Track allowed for a great teacher to child ratio. Their confidence level was off the charts after taking their Capstone trip during their last year. After 5th grade they moved into the Portland Public Schools Japanese magnet program and excelled both in the junior and high school programs. Our eldest is now a freshman at Lewis & Clark majoring in chemistry with a minor in Japanese. Our youngest, a junior at Grant HS is thinking of attending college in Japan. We are forever grateful for The International School for not only teaching them how to speak the Japanese language fluently, but for also instilling in them the confidence to succeed in today’s world.
