After completing 10th Grade in T.I.S., students can choose whether to continue T.I.S. system classes or to enter I.B. (the International Baccalaureate Program).
If a student chooses to continue T.I.S. system ,he will receive a T.I.S. High School Diploma at the end of his school career.
Normally, the T.I.S. Diploma is recognized by most universities outside Iran. Universities such as Oxford of England and Sorbonne of France are amongst institutes of higher education which have regularly granted admission to T.I.S. graduates .Students who plan to stay in Iran can apply to and enter a local university .

School Discipline Guidelines
We believe...........
that it is the school's responsibility to provide a positive atmosphere for learning.
that discipline is an essential part of education.
that students have rights and responsibilities.
that school rules should be established and understood by parents, teachers and students.
that discipline, as well as learning, is individualized.
that parents should be deeply involved in the discipline of the student.
that there is no uniform formula for controlling misbehavior .
that parents, teachers and administrators should help students work towards self-discipline and self-control.
As regulation and discipline work hand in hand with progress and
success, we tend to set a few rules to enhance the safety and
advancement of the students.
The following regulations are mandatory:
Attendance of all scheduled classes in full uniform.
To be on time for all classes
To ensure the rights of others to study and comprehend
Proper behavior in all circumstances
Respectful behavior must be shown to all such as
instructors, clerical and janitorial service.
Food and drink are not allowed in the classrooms
To complete all assignments and meet deadlines
To contact the school when absent
Hair styles should be appropriate. Dying or highlighting the hair
is not permitted.
To respect school property and educational materials
Students are not allowed to leave school grounds without
permission.
If the parent is asked to visit the school in reference to the
student's behavior or class curriculum, immediate response
to the request is very important.
We believe that each student is different and unique in his own special way, and each student has special problems in which he, at times, is need of assistance. Therefore we try to provide personal counseling for the students if they need.
