The International School of Thrissur (TIST)

The International School of Thrissur (TIST) is a co-educational school in Chirakkakode, near Mannuthy, Thrissur, Kerala. Children can join in their toddler years and continue through senior secondary without changing schools.

In the early years, learning is rooted in play and exploration, helping children build social skills, confidence, and a foundation in reading and numeracy. Later, families can choose between the CBSE and Cambridge programmes. For parents considering IGCSE schools in Kerala, TIST offers the Cambridge IGCSE programme in the senior classes, encouraging students to understand concepts, think independently, and apply what they learn.

Smart boards, digital libraries, and hands-on activities extend learning beyond textbooks, while language clubs, sports, arts, and school events let students pursue their interests. Boarding facilities are also available.

Students from different backgrounds learn together at TIST, understand different cultures, and stay connected to local values, an aspect parents may weigh when comparing international schools in Kerala.
