At Theodore International School, as a Christian international school, we incorporate Christian values into our educational environment. Here's how religion is practiced:

Christian Foundation: The school integrates Christian principles into daily life, fostering a moral and ethical framework based on Christian teachings.

Bible Classes: We offer Bible classes as part of the curriculum to provide students with an understanding of Christian scripture, teachings, and values.

Inclusive Approach: While our foundation is Christian, we respect students of all faiths and those who are non-religious. Students are not required to convert or actively practice Christianity but are encouraged to learn about Christian principles as part of the school's values-based education.

Cultural and Religious Awareness: In addition to our Christian framework, we promote understanding and respect for diverse cultural and religious backgrounds, aligning with our mission of global education.

By blending Christian teachings with a commitment to inclusivity, we aim to nurture character development while respecting individual beliefs.

At Theodore International School, inclusivity is a core value, and we strive to create a welcoming environment for students of all religious backgrounds and those who are non-religious. Here's how we accommodate them:

Flexible Religious Practices: Participation in any religious activities or ceremonies is optional. Students can choose to observe, participate, or opt-out based on their personal beliefs.

Respect for Diversity: We incorporate lessons about various world religions and philosophies in our curriculum to promote understanding and respect for different belief systems.

Alternative Activities: For students who do not participate in religious events, we provide alternative, enriching activities to ensure they feel included and engaged.

Safe Spaces for Expression: Our teachers and staff are trained to respect and accommodate diverse perspectives, ensuring students feel safe to express their beliefs without fear of judgment or discrimination.

Dietary Accommodations: For students with dietary restrictions based on religious or personal beliefs, our cafeteria provides appropriate meal options.

Open Communication: We maintain open communication with families to understand their preferences and needs, working collaboratively to support each student's individual journey.

By embracing diversity and fostering a culture of mutual respect, we ensure every student feels valued and supported.

At Theodore International School, we provide a range of external examinations and assessments to ensure our students are well-prepared for academic success and university admissions. These include:

MAP Test:

The Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) test helps track student progress and provides individualized guidance to support their learning journey.
It evaluates core subjects like Math, Reading, and Language Usage, enabling teachers to tailor instruction to students' needs.
Cambridge Test:

The Cambridge English exams assess students' proficiency in English based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).
These tests enhance global competitiveness and provide students with an internationally recognized certification of their English language skills.
SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test):

The SAT focuses on English (Reading and Writing) and Math, preparing students for university-level academics.
It is widely recognized by universities worldwide and supports students in gaining admission to their preferred institutions.
ACT (American College Testing):

The ACT covers a broader range of subjects, including English, Math, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Science Reasoning.
This test equips students with the knowledge and skills needed for success in STEM fields and beyond.

At Theodore International School, we follow a balanced approach to homework to support our students' learning while promoting a healthy school-life balance.

No Regular Homework Policy:

We have a no homework policy, meaning teachers do not assign daily homework.
Instead, students are encouraged to spend at least 15 minutes each night reading to foster a love for literature and improve language skills.
Completion of Classwork:

If students do not finish their work during class time, they may need to complete it at home. This ensures accountability and reinforces classroom learning without overwhelming them.
Focus on Quality Learning:

Our approach allows students to fully engage in classroom activities and ensures that home time can be used for personal growth, family bonding, and extracurricular interests.
By minimizing homework, we aim to create a stress-free learning environment while still encouraging consistent academic engagement.

At Theodore International School, our preschool program is highly sought after, and we manage admissions through a waiting list system.

Preschool Admissions:

Due to limited capacity and the popularity of our program, preschool applicants are placed on a waiting list once available spots are filled.
Admissions are processed on a first-come, first-served basis, with priority given to siblings of current students or families with a strong connection to the school.
Communication with Families:

Families on the waiting list are kept informed of their status and notified promptly when a spot becomes available.
We encourage early application to ensure the best chance of securing a place in our preschool program.
