Campus Life at Oxford International School of Tunis
Where Learning Continues Beyond the Classroom
School life is about more than lessons, books and examinations.
It is also about friendships, discovery, creativity, movement, teamwork and the experiences that help students become confident members of a community.
At Oxford International School of Tunis (OIST), campus life is designed to complement the Cambridge curriculum by giving students opportunities to explore their interests, develop new skills and take an active role in school life.
From creative activities and sports to technology, clubs, events and student-led initiatives, students are encouraged to discover what they enjoy and contribute to the wider OIST community.
Learn. Connect. Create. Belong.
A School Environment Designed for Students
OIST provides an English-medium international school environment where students from different backgrounds learn and grow together.
The campus brings together spaces for academic learning, creativity, technology, reading, science, physical activity and community experiences.
Each environment has a role to play in the student journey.
A classroom supports focused learning.
A laboratory encourages investigation.
A library creates space for reading and independent study.
A sports environment promotes movement and teamwork.
Creative spaces allow students to express ideas in different ways.
Together, these experiences contribute to a school life that goes beyond the traditional classroom.

Learning Beyond the Classroom
Some of the most memorable learning experiences happen outside a traditional lesson.

At OIST, these experiences can encourage students to:
- Apply classroom knowledge in new contexts.
- Work collaboratively with others.
- Communicate ideas with confidence.
- Explore new interests.
- Develop independence and responsibility.
- Understand different cultures and perspectives.
Learning becomes an experience, not simply a timetable.

Student-led activities, school initiatives, assemblies and leadership opportunities can encourage students to develop:
- Public speaking
- Teamwork
- Organisation
- Decision-making
- Responsibility
- Leadership
- Confidence
The objective is to give students opportunities to move from simply participating in school life to actively contributing to it.
