What Makes Us Different?
We are a modern-day prep school for ambitious students who seek to forge meaningful careers and attend college with purpose.
Traditional education often prioritizes grades and standardized test performance, leaving many students without clarity about their passions or career goals. At TIF, our innovative curriculum reimagines preparation for both college and careers, focusing on aligning students’ talents, skills, and values with their future paths.
Through individualized learning and project-based experiences, students gain the self-awareness and direction needed to pursue work that is both fulfilling and impactful. By fostering curiosity, purpose, and confidence, we prepare students not only to excel academically but also to flourish in pursuits that reflect their true potential.
1. Mission-Driven Project Work
Unlike the one-size-fits-all approach of traditional education, TIF offers a hyper-personalized curriculum tailored to each student’s interests and goals. Through our "Innovator’s Framework" approach to project-based learning, students validate their interests through action and reflection, connecting their passions to real-world opportunities.
2. Experienced Coaches and Industry Mentors
At TIF, students are encouraged to make a real-world impact through their projects. Once students validate their interests, they are paired with industry mentors to design internships and projects in collaboration with leading startups and organizations. This bridge between authentic interest and practical experience empowers students to create meaningful value in society through their education.
3. Interdisciplinary Curriculum
Our curriculum blends project-based, problem-based, and inquiry-based learning, integrating essential concepts and tools from Math, Science, English, and Social Studies while transcending traditional subject boundaries. Built upon three foundational pillars, our curriculum goes beyond Common Core standards, equipping students with vital competencies for life while preparing them for the academic rigor of university study.
4. Comprehensive College Advisory
Our four-year college advisory program helps students gain admission to their best-fit universities worldwide. Starting in Grade 9, students collaborate with certified advisors to identify their priorities, build balanced college lists, and create compelling portfolios that highlight their achievements and character. This comprehensive approach ensures that every student enters the college application process with purpose.
