About the school

Tagore International School was founded by Dr. Mrs. H. Sen in 1964 with the aim of creating a free atmosphere where children develop their personality to the fullest extent. It is an institution which constantly endeavours to excel in every field is strategically located in between the posh colonies of Greater Kailash , South Extension, Defence Colonry, Sadiq Nagar, Kailash Hills, and East of Kailash. The salubrious surroundings with the school sharing its wall with a nursery give it a conducive environment for the nurturing ofyoung impressionable minds.

The approach to the school is affable and effortless because of its easy accessibility through a wide road which is well connected with the outer and inner ring roads and Nehru Place. Its easy approachability and strategic location makes it one of the most acclaimed schools in the area.
Added to this, it is a highly guarded, harboured and protected school in the vicinity. High walls have been erected to halt any encroachment.The entry to the school is restricted as security guards have been posted at the front gate to immobilize any illegal entry into the premises.All these efforts have been put, to make it one of the most sought after school in the area.

School Emblem

      

 The Tagorean Emblem represents three TIS. The centre I is the leaping flame of the candle, signifying everlasting knowledge, enclosed by T which formsthe  arms and legs of the child who is never tired in his quest for this knowledge or ‘vidya’. Like the light of the candle, the child is continuously striving to reach for  the  stars.

 ‘I am worthy’, says the child. This is a positive self-realisation and this belief guides the student on the path of true knowledge. It helps her / him evolve as a   self-confident, multi-faceted human being.

This is the simple Tagorean philosophy:Belief in Self.

“I Am What I Am

I am the Truth and Joy Forever”
