Our Vision &
Our Curriculum

The International School of Macao (TIS) offers the Alberta provincial curriculum at all grade levels, forming the cornerstone of our successful educational program. Our excellent results in the most recent PISA test (Program for International Student Assessment) demonstrate the effectiveness of the Alberta curriculum and the teaching strategies employed at TIS. As an Alberta-accredited offshore school, we adhere to rigorous standards to provide this world-class curriculum.

Alberta’s commitment to developmentally appropriate pacing, a strong emphasis on English language arts as a foundation for all learning, fair and consistent assessment practices, the integration of technology, and the use of certified teachers in curriculum development ensures that Alberta boasts one of the best education systems globally.

Students thrive and excel when this curriculum is complemented by the multicultural richness at TIS, access to the latest educational resources, a variety of extracurricular activities, and our creative and talented staff.

In addition to our regular curriculum, all students in Grades 3 to 11 participate in the Canadian Achievement Test (CAT), a standardized assessment that evaluates basic reading, writing, and mathematical skills. Our students consistently surpass the average Canadian results in all three areas.

Grade 12 students are also required to take standardized exams for their Alberta diploma courses, which contribute 30% to the final grade in each course. When compared to provincial results, TIS students perform above the norm.

Furthermore, TIS is authorized to offer the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) for Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 6 and the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme (DP) as an option for Grades 11 and 12. This two-year IB DP is a challenging and balanced pre-university educational program recognized worldwide. The similarities between the Alberta and IB programs enable students choosing this option to graduate with dual diplomas.

澳門國際學校（TIS）在所有年級均採用加拿大艾伯塔課程，並以此作為學校成功教育體系的基石。我們在最近一次PISA（國際學生能力評估計劃）測試中取得優異成績，充分展現艾伯塔課程及TIS教學策略的成效。作為獲艾伯塔認證的海外學校，我們嚴格遵循相關標準，為學生提供世界一流的課程。

艾伯塔教育體系重視符合學生發展階段的學習進度，並高度重視英語語言藝術，將其作為各項學習的基礎，同時實行公平一致的評估方式、融合科技教學，並由具備專業資格的教師參與課程發展。這些特點使艾伯塔擁有全球領先的教育體系之一。

當這一課程體系與TIS多元文化的校園環境、先進的教育資源、豐富的課外活動，以及富有創意與才華的教職員團隊相結合時，學生能夠更好地成長並發揮潛能。

除常規課程外，3至11年級所有學生均須參加加拿大成就測驗（Canadian Achievement Test，CAT）。這是一項標準化評估，主要測試學生在基礎閱讀、寫作及數學方面的能力。TIS學生在這三個範疇的成績，持續高於加拿大平均水平。

12年級學生亦須參加艾伯塔高中畢業課程的標準化考試，有關考試成績佔每門課程最終成績的30%。與艾伯塔整體成績相比，TIS學生的表現高於平均水平。

此外，TIS亦獲授權為幼稚預備班至6年級提供國際文憑小學項目PYP（IB Primary Years Programme，PYP），並為11及12年級學生提供國際文憑大學預科課程IB DP（International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme，IB DP）作為升學選擇。為期兩年的IB DP是一項具挑戰性且兼顧全面發展的大學預科教育課程，獲全球廣泛認可。由於艾伯塔課程與IB課程具有一定相似性，選擇IB DP的學生可在畢業時同時取得雙文憑。

The International School of Macao (TIS) is a vibrant, multicultural community of 1,300 students from 28 different countries. We offer an outstanding and comprehensive academic program for students from Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 12, culminating in both the Alberta High School Diploma and the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma, which are recognized by universities and colleges worldwide. English is the primary language of instruction.

At TIS, we provide endless opportunities and support for students to explore and nurture their unique identities and creativity within a truly international learning environment. Through our diverse array of academic and extracurricular programs, we empower students to cultivate their talents and prepare for a future of continuous learning and active participation in society.
