Overview of the school
The English International School of Tunis opened in September 2021. EIST is located in a large building in Gammarth Road, La Marsa and has undergone a complete refurbishment to meet the needs of a school and its learners in the 21st century. EIST occupies a massive floor space of 10,000 m2. This allows EIST to offer pupils and staff premises of the highest quality. We have been particularly careful to use high quality materials, to plan for safe and secure pupil movement and to equip the school to the highest possible standard.
We combine traditional education with up-to-date pedagogical practices and use technology to support and enhance learning.
