Lifelong Connections
The friendships formed at TIMS — between children, between families, and between families and educators — often last a lifetime. In a community that has grown together for over 50 years, the bonds built here go far beyond the school years.
Friendships That Last
When children grow up together in a small, mixed-age, multicultural community, the friendships they form are deep and lasting. TIMS alumni often maintain connections with school friends across countries and continents — a testament to the genuine bonds formed during their early years here.
A Community for Families
For parents too, TIMS is a place where lasting connections are made. The shared experience of navigating parenthood, cultural celebrations, community events, and governance together creates friendships that endure long after children have moved on to their next school.
50 Years of TIMS Families
Founded over five decades ago, TIMS has been home to generations of families from across the world. Many parents who attended TIMS as children have since returned to enrol their own children — the clearest possible sign that the connections formed here truly last a lifetime.
What Families Remember
"Years after our children left TIMS, the friendships — between our kids and between the parents — are still very much alive. TIMS gave us a second family."
