ISTP teaches through language and culture, using these tools to promote personal and academic excellence. Within a safe, nurturing environment, students are encouraged to collaborate, communicate, experiment, grow and excel. An education at ISTP is far more comprehensive than after-school language classes as language is a vital part of ISTP’s rigorous academic curriculum.
