History
TIS was founded in 2002[4] to provide a Canadian curriculum and accreditation to both local and international students.
TIS opened with 58 students enrolled on the campus of Macau University of Science and Technology. The school was originally located in Block E.[5] The school has expanded to over 500 pupils by 2006, when it moved into the first phase of its new, purpose-built structure on the MUST campus. The school declared in 2016 that it will invest 180 million Macau patacas (US$22,400,000) on the campus's second phase.[6]
