In the elementary school at ISTP, we teach a comprehensive academic program of reading, writing, language, math, history and science. By learning in two languages and interacting with a multicultural student body, students benefit from a wide array of cultures.

To gain entry into the elementary school, students must already be proficient in the second language of study (Chinese or French).
