| TASIS Dorado was founded by the developers of the Sabanera Dorado community in a joint effort with three prominent Puerto Rican educators who have extensive experience in educational endeavors in Europe, the United States and Puerto Rico. These educators in turn have teamed with the TASIS Foundation in Europe to contribute to the school with their expertise and experience in the organization and development of highly successful quality schools.
The TASIS Schools in Europe were founded by a well renowned educator, M. Crist Fleming. The original school was opened in Lugano, Switzerland, in 1956, as the first American-curriculum, boarding, college preparatory school in Europe, and its name - The American School in Switzerland (TASIS)- extended to the subsequent campuses and summer programs begun elsewhere in Europe. TASIS has developed for the international community a number of educational and cultural enrichment summer programs in England, France, Italy, Spain, and Greece. TASIS England, an independent, coeducational boarding and day school enrolling students in Pre Pre-K through twelfth grades, was opened in 1976, on a 35 acre campus in Thorpe, Surrey, 18 miles southwest of London. TASIS England is a sister school for TASIS Dorado, which is the first educational venture of TASIS within the United States
