The International School of the Peninsula (ISTP) was established as a French immersion school in 1979, and was named the Peninsula French American School. Founded by Charlotte de Géry with a small group of parents and friends, the school originally opened its doors to nine students. Today, we have grown to have a student body of over 500 students across two Palo Alto campuses.
In 1996, the school added a bilingual Chinese program as well as an international middle school and changed its name to the International School of the Peninsula.
