Would you like to help your daughter read and study more? Our librarians can offer a wide range of reading material for all ages and would be glad to assist students with a number of useful strategies designed to hone their reading skills
The TIS also plans to launch its own digitalised library (currently under construction) and take out an annual subscription to Questia.com so that it can offer its students free access to this famous online library on the school premises
Computer Lab/Internet Room
All computer-related classes, including Information Technology (IT), are held in the Internet rooms. They include a comprehensive collection of materials and resources for school-related utilities and information to which all teachers and students have access almost round the clock
Computer science program is an essential part of each school curriculum. Students learn various computer technologies throughout this program by using our up-to date laboratories. Students have access to internet, under supervision of our trained staff in the Internet- Site- Room in order to heighten and improve their skills. Computer history, word processing logo, Windows, word, power point, excel. Basic programming, Visual Basic 6.0, programming with structured basic and using information technology through their educational years, are what students learn in computer science courses, offered at THE TIS
Audio-visual Centre
It serves as the hub of language instruction. Students can listen to the tutor’s dialect, recorded text, self-recordings, films, and playback features
Our audio visual lab is equipped with the latest technology and instructional audio-video materials. Our teachers use this facility in order to enhance student learning.

Light experiments are themselves divided into: mirrors, shades and shadows, plane mirrors, converse mirrors, lens, and microscope. Electricity experiments include: charges, magnets, movements, and magnets (permanent or electrical). Nuclear physics experiments are divided into half-life and ray measurement. Heat experiments include: horizontal experiments and calorimeters
§ Chemistry Laboratory
The kind of chemistry experiments carried out here are as follows: organic/inorganic experiments (alkans, alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, kenton, esters, armines, amides, phynols, ), general chemistry (empirical formula of an element, titration), physical chemistry (chromatography), and thermo chemistry experiments
§ Biology Laboratory
It covers experiments in anatomy (digestive, transport, respiratory, urinogenital, and skeletal systems), ecology (communities & ecosystems, evolution, and classification), biochemistry (structure of simple bio-compounds and genetics) biophysics (ultra-sound and blood pressure), zoology (clamification and variations), and botany (photosynthesis and respiration)
Health Office
Our health office provides all students with and experiences nurse who oversees all medical-related matters throughout school hours, this office also documents all vaccination and medical records in order to better assist the students. It also plans educational programs for students in order to raise their knowledge and awareness of various medical issues. Examinations will be performed upon arrival of students in elementary school to assure a healthy environment for all

Playground, athletic activities, and PE programmes
We have a large playground equipped with such equipment and structures as seesaws, slides, etc, which are usually found on North American school premises. There is also ample space provided for the construction of an indoor pool already noted on school's building ground plans. The TIS is facilitated with a 1500 square metres of indoor gym as well as an outdoor basketball court. Physical Education classes are administered from pre-school through 12th grade in the gym. The indoor gym is designed for teaching and practising sports such as basketball, volleyball, handball, badminton, and a few more
Throughout the academic year, students participate in various sport competitions which are held in the above-mentioned gym. In our PE programme, students learn various skills as well as sportsmanship mottoes. Students are evaluated based on quality and application of learned skills at the end of each term. Under supervision of our qualified staff, students are also trained for annual international competitions which are held each year with participation of countries such as China, France, India, Italy, Japan, Pakistan, South Korea, and few other nations
Transport
Students at the TIS may use our transport service to and from school during the academic year. Students using school transport service must abide by the rules and regulations which have been set for their own safety.
