International affiliations include Trinity College London (speech & drama), International Award for Young People/Duke of Edinburgh Award, Equestrian Federation of India (horse riding), and Lions Club International (community service).

TIS generates revenue through subscription recurring tuition and fees for boarding and day students (academic year runs April to March) plus a non-refundable registration fee of ₹15,000. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer, targeting parents across India through a digital-first acquisition funnel (official website, social media, virtual tour, brochures, e-prospectus, blog) combined with an admissions helpline (+91-9837983791) and an online admissions portal (admission.tis.edu.in). Operations are supported by the Fedena school management system for attendance, academic records, and fee management, and fee collection is processed through Punjab National Bank. The school is privately held, operates exclusively in the Indian domestic market, and does not disclose revenue, enrollment, or headcount figures.
