The school will start off with an initial intake of children into its Foundation Stage in 2014. 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 CURRICULUM The Cambridge International Curriculum is the world's largest provider of
