TASIS offers elementary, middle, high school, and post-graduate programs for students aged 4 – 18. It offers English as an Additional Language (EAL) and Advanced Placement (AP) courses as part of an American high school diploma, as well as courses leading to the International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma, which prepares students for colleges and universities throughout the world. TASIS is accredited by the New England Association of Schools & Colleges and the European Council of International Schools.

The Campus is a combination of academic, boarding, and recreational facilities that harmonize with each other and with the surrounding landscape. The school is perched among a spectacular setting of Swiss mountains above and Lake Lugano below. The historic campus buildings are a reminder of the nobility toward which humans can aspire.

Culture is no afterthought at TASIS, and the emphasis on art and history starts with the campus itself. The most magnificent campus building is Villa De Nobili, a 17th-century mansion that still contains the suits of armor placed there when the building was owned by the Marchese De Nobili, Italian Ambassador to Switzerland. It now provides a fascinating setting for a dormitory, classrooms, administrative offices, and the dining room.
