Principal’s Message

Dear TIST Family,

Welcome to The International School of Thrissur – the one and only Cambridge Pathway School (a clear path for educational success from age 3+ to 16+) in Kerala, a distinct Cambridge International School!

Education is a chiselling experience. Education helps an individual to chisel out all the protruding parts, endowing one with the collaborative faculties. In this process of developing these collaborative skills, one attains success in life, and one begins to live a meaningful life, spreading positive influence on others. This is a transcending experience. And a holistic education helps one attain this transcending experience. We generally tend to consider transcendence and success as a winning syndrome. Life is not a question of winning and losing but rather living it joyfully and meaningfully. Life becomes meaningful and joyful, provided one attempts to improve and develop oneself. This improvement and development should not be in comparison with others but rather with oneself. In brief, life should be an ongoing endeavour to improve oneself in comparison with one’s past performance. A holistic education initiates a person to be in the right perspective to attain transcendence through this chiselling and pruning experience by being curious and striving for transformation. It is important to have a curious mind, but what is even more important is to be prudent and apply our existing knowledge in daily life.

"Learn, Apply, Lead." These three words encapsulate the very essence of what we strive to achieve at TIST. We strive to inculcate the power of applying their knowledge, of turning ideas into action, and of becoming responsible leaders who contribute positively to the world around them. The world needs informed, engaged, and responsible leaders.

Our Complete Cambridge Pathway curriculum prepares our wards for a fruitful and enriching life journey through the Cambridge Early Years, Cambridge Primary, Cambridge Lower Secondary, IGCSE and AS/A Level programmes. This dynamic curriculum helps TISTians explore new frontiers and expand their horizons ,providing them with international exposure and global perspectives. 

At TIST, opportunities knock at each child’s door to better themselves, be it in the classroom, in co-curricular activities, in the TISTMUN sessions or the unique School Day events where each and every child participates, showcasing the natural gifts they are endowed with.
