Parent Insights

Parents report that community, culture and teachers set Tampa Bay International School apart from other schools. They appreciate the balance we strike between the traditional and the innovative. They recognize the aspects of our program that resemble traditional schools – our curricula, schedules and teacher-directed lessons. They also enjoy the innovative, non-traditional components of our program – our identity as a Spanish immersion school, our mixed age classes and our use of non-traditional lessons that incorporate movement and games.
