Posted in: Tokyo International School See in context
Enjoyed reading all of the comments. Fascinating how some of you have pulled a piece out and assumed certain things are not happening. I am guessing most of you have never been to TIS so easy to pick at this and that. The design technology lab and science program is inspiring and makes us adults want to go back to school not run away from it. The IB programme starts at 3 years old and not just at high school as stated above and is becoming popular. The IB programme is also in public schools so open to children in many social economic settings.
Yes the international schools are expensive and have a certain cliental and is different then the norm however what I pull from the article is to see how learning can match with today's world. Would like to hear about other examples where students are learning what they need to succeed and be happy. The current system is failing in most countries throughout the world. If you have been reading at all about education today you will find many of the leading thinkers who support this type of learning that is happening at TIS or some other schools as well. Would be great to hear about more schools who are meeting todays needs.
