As the 2025-26 school year comes to a close on our Wichita campus, Panther Pride is also being celebrated across the world.

Through The Independent School’s International Partnership Programs, TIS works with two partner schools in China: Chengdu Pidu Huaai School and Griffin International Academy. During the 2025-26 school year, these programs served 94 students, connecting them with TIS-supported coursework, curriculum development, academic review, college application guidance, and enrollment support.

This year, 31 seniors will graduate from our international partnership programs and continue their education at universities across the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Switzerland.

Among this year’s remarkable achievements, Elwood Li was admitted to the University of Oxford, and Senmao Luo was admitted to the University of Cambridge.

These accomplishments reflect the heart of what TIS values: academic excellence, thoughtful guidance, meaningful challenge, and helping students take their next step with confidence.

We are proud to celebrate these students, their teachers, and the continued growth of our international partnerships. From Wichita to our overseas campuses, Panther Pride reaches far beyond one place.
