Homework Policy

A day in the life of a Taunggyi International School student, among other things, includes continuous interaction with varied concepts. Our curriculum, subject-time ratio, and co-curricular activities are all tailored toward holistic development. At Taunggyi International School, homework is scheduled to reinforce the day’s learning; it is intended to complement the concepts already introduced in the class/school as a form of extended learning. We subscribe to the belief of ‘learning by doing’ as espoused by John Dewey. To that end, our homework tasks are regulated and not limited to the submission of assignments, they may involve small projects both individual and group, it may be research-based as in a survey, completion of assigned work during the day or simply a reading exercise and so on and so forth. The Taunggyi International School policy of quality over quantity is reflected in our Homework Policy too. The idea is to develop individuals who are independent, responsible and motivated toward critical thinking. We also ensure that homework is appropriate in terms of progression, student age, and fulfillment to be engaged in.
