WHY CHOOSE ISTP
Academic Excellence • Language Immersion • Multi-Culturalism
Our school provides a challenging academic curriculum through dual language immersion within a multi-cultural environment. Our school’s excellence is achieved by the close interaction of all three elements.

What does it mean for ISTP to have a “close interaction of all three elements?”

What makes ISTP unique is the interplay of these three aspects of the school: academic achievement, dual language immersion, and the multi-cultural environment. The challenging academic curriculum fosters high achievers who are given the individual attention needed to help them continually stretch themselves to be their best. Dual language immersion provides them not only with language skills, but also with myriad interpersonal development skills. The multi-cultural environment broadens the minds of students, helping them to appreciate other cultures and other ways of thinking.

Each element feeds the other. Children share the nature of their diverse backgrounds with the rest of the class, and this enhances the curriculum. The challenging curriculum supports the elevated performance that dual immersion requires. Dual language immersion reveals new ways of seeing the world, and makes students inquisitive about the background of their classmates. At ISTP, each of the three dimensions increases the value of the others, making the whole greater than the sum of its parts.

Only a handful of schools in the nation can offer such an enriching experience for your child. We pride ourselves in being one of those schools. The International School of the Peninsula. We truly represent “Many Cultures, One World.”
