History
The Tashkent International School started in 1994 with the help of the United Nations. There are teachers from many countries including US, Canada, the UK, Republic of Ireland, Holland, France, New Zealand, Turkey, Australia, Armenia, South Africa, India and Uzbekistan. Many American and international universities have accepted the graduates of TIS, including very good universities such as Harvard.
The Tashkent International School had to change campuses once. They spent a lot of effort constructing the present school building.
There have been many directors who have been good and caring to students and faculty. The directors are John Thomas, Kevin Glass and Robert Brindley. To learn more about the director visit Director's Welcome.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“... in a history of spiritual rupture, a social compact built on fantasy and collective secrets, poetry becomes more necessary than ever: it keeps the underground aquifers flowing; it is the liquid voice that can wear through stone.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“the future is simply nothing at all. Nothing has happened to the present by becoming past except that fresh slices of existence have been added to the total history of the world. The past is thus as real as the present.”
—Charlie Dunbar Broad (1887–1971)
