TASIS Portugal is a new school, but TASIS is not new. The American School in Switzerland, the original TASIS campus, was the very first American international school in Europe. TASIS has a rich history of tradition and since 1956 has been preparing students for success in global colleges and universities.
As founder Mary Crist Fleming said in a speech to students and parents in 1996, “Forty years ago I did dream of a school or schools that by bringing young people closely together in their young and formative tender years we might be able to “bond” the world together in such a way that ties of understanding, compassion, love, and a sense of reality would create a saner, safer, better world.”
