As TIA is an English Medium school, all subjects except Nepali are taught in English. We take English as the backbone of TIA. The English Language is taught effectively using the communicative approach, encouraging students to communicate with each other and the teacher in situations which are meaningful to them. The resources that are used are based on an acceptance of this approach and are designed to suit the needs of all students of varying backgrounds, language abilities and experiences. Students will not only learn the language but will be exposed to other cultural aspects as well.
