Turku International School follows the Finnish National Core Curriculum for Basic Education. The national curriculum can be found here (in Finnish), while an overview in English can be found here.
Due to English being the language of instruction at TIS, we have differentiated our English instruction. Teaching follows the objectives described in the Finnish National Core Curriculum for Basic Education, but the requirements are at a significantly higher level.
Behavior assessment at TIS follows the principles outlined here.
