Welcome to the Tashkent Ulugbek International School (TUIS). Founded in 1995, and arising out of the spirit of internationalism, TUIS became a pioneer of international education in Uzbekistan. Today, over 20 nationalities are represented within our school community, creating a microcosm of the world in which we live.
TUIS not only has a reputation for high academic standards, but it is also well known for being a very caring community. I am certain that you will quickly experience the warm and caring ethos nurtured by the school over many years.
It won't take you long to realise that there is something rather special about TUIS. Everyone here feels important and valued no matter what role they play. In particular, there is a strong relationship between school and the home. Education doesn't begin and end at school. I consider the role of parents alongside the school to be vital for effective education and I will be seeking to promote this concept as a crucial ingredient of the learning community. I am a believer in ‘life-long learning' and I acknowledge that everyone in school (including myself!), is indeed a learner.
At TUIS we believe that it is vital that young people are given not only the skills essential for contributing positively to the development of society, but also the creative and reflective skills to enable them to develop positive self-esteem and a sense of personal efficacy. It is to this end that great stress is placed upon the social and emotional development of our students, within a clearly articulated values framework, and upon a well-balanced curriculum that gives each student experiential opportunities within the creative arts.
Also, your children will be encouraged to take some responsibility for their learning, be independent and to support others in their efforts here. Together, as a learning community, we will continue to set and achieve the high standards TUIS is famous for, whilst producing well balanced, successful and happy citizens of tomorrow. The world of tomorrow awaits our children and nowhere could they have better help in crossing the bridge to that world than at TUIS.
“Our goal is to prepare talented young people to become global citizens who will grow into international leadership roles.”
I am delighted to be part of and associated with this prestigious school and I am as excited as you must be by the prospect of the challenges and joys of each new school year. I look forward very much to meeting you to share much more about what it is to be a part of our community.
Alettin Duman,
