Academic Support
for Kids
(ASK)
At TYIS, we offer the ASK Program, which is designed to support student learning. ASK stands for Academic Support for Kids. Students in the ASK program receive extra support from the ASK teacher along with the Homeroom teachers.
ASK is a tuition-based program, and the placement decisions are made by the school.
TYIS believes in the culture of inclusion, and it is our school philosophy to consider the whole child by addressing all students' needs academically. The individual differences of our students from diverse backgrounds are recognized. We strive to develop their fullest potential, by focusing on their strengths and supporting them, in order to broaden their self-awareness and strengthen their self-esteem.
