Introduction

TBS BROCHURE 1

TBS is a project of Tema Ridge School designed to provide a sound

alternative to our GES Curriculum by offering parents and their children the

choice of a British education. This project will give Tema Ridge School the

flexibility to offer on one hand the local curriculum and on the other hand the

Cambridge International curriculum thereby providing parents with the

opportunity to choose the educational path which best suits their needs and

that of their children.

CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL CURRICULUMThe Cambridge International Curriculum is the world's largest provider of
