Taunton International Study Centre:
Taunton International Study Centre (TISC) is for international pupils aged 12 to 17 years, and is your first step into main stream education in the United Kingdom. TISC is located in Taunton, Somerset in the South West of England.
TISC BOARDING PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE: We aim to provide a high quality boarding environment which promotes the welfare of each individual, and encourages his or her all round development. We want each of our students to be fulfilled and happy and, at the minimum, this requires that they must feel secure, and are properly looked after by well qualified and experienced people who are well disposed to children.

- TISC is a mixed boarding house with between 50 and 60 students, aged 13 to 17, from many different countries. This gives students the opportunity to mix with a range of people of different talents, cultures and background.
- The boarding house is led by the Principal, aided by a male and a female residential House Tutor who are both EAL specialists.
- Additionally there are a male and a female Graduate House Assistant who help the House Tutors with pastoral care.
- There are also pastoral assistants who assist the house staff on a rota basis.
- Each student is also allocated a tutor from the academic staff who monitors their welfare as well as their academic progress.
- There is an ongoing programme of refurbishment and redecoration which underlines our commitment to high quality boarding.
