1986\u00a0to 2016 - 30 years of educational success and inspiration<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

This academic year the International School of the TCI celebrates its 30th year of educating the youth of the Turks and Caicos Islands. It all started in 1986!<\/p>\r\nThe small school that was started many years ago in Leeward has grown into amazing school. Children can start from the age of 9 months in\u00a0our nursery \u00a0til they are in Grade 6.\r\n\r\nFrom our tiny beginnings, we\u00a0have grown immensely:\u00a0a nursery program, a\u00a0language program, PE program, speciality teachers\u00a0and of course our swimming pool but what makes our school so special...the students, the teachers and parents!\r\n\r\n
