As many of you may be aware that the TIS Boarding School is a relatively new program at TIS. Over the years it has faced many issues challenging its growth and development. One of the key issues is the fact that it’s a shared space/dormitory within a pre-existing university dormitory in the Macau University of Science and Technology (MUST).

The TIS Boarding School has been fortunate to share facilities with the MUST student dormitories for the past 6 years. During this time, enrollment in the boarding school has fluctuated and currently sits at 15 students. MUST has continued to grow and despite building the new student residences, some students are still required to board across the border in Zhuhai.

To partially address this issue, MUST has asked the TIS Board of Directors that the dormitory be returned to them by July 2018 so that they can offer the rooms to MUST students.

After careful consideration by the TIS Board, TIS is unable to provide boarding facilities for TIS students for the 2018-19 school year. In light of this news, it is with a great deal of sadness that TIS Boarding School will officially close its operations on June 29, 2018.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact Simon Gauci (Director of Boarding) or Howard Stribbell (Head of School). If you wish to schedule a meeting at TIS to discuss this matter with one of us, please feel free to do so.

或許你們已對TIS寄宿學校的動向有所瞭解，多年來，TIS寄宿學校的發展經歷了許多挑戰，其中一個問題是TIS寄宿學生和澳門科技大學寄宿學生共用一棟宿舍樓。

過去六年裏，兩校學生共享校舍設施，在此期間，TIS寄宿學生入住率並不穩定，現階段有十五名學生； 而近年澳門科技大學寄宿學生越來越多，雖然新建了學生公寓，卻仍因寄宿空間有限，只能暫居珠海。

為此，澳門科技大學要求TIS在2018年7月之前將所用校舍退還，騰出寄宿空間。

TIS董事會經過慎重考慮後決定，2018-2019學年將不再為在校學生提供寄宿服務。鑑於此，我們很遺憾地告知各位家長，TIS寄宿學校將於2018年6月29日正式關閉。

如果您有任何疑問，請與Simon Gauci（寄宿學校負責人） 或Howard Stribbell（澳門國際學校校長）聯繫，您也可以隨時來校與我們探討此事。
