School Life
Calendar
The International School of Tucson (IST) operates an August – May school year, divided into two semesters with a four-week Winter Break, an eight-week Summer Break and a one-week break (Fall Break and Spring Break) approximately in the middle of each semester. The Academic Calendars below show the dates of each semester and the four Breaks.
IST also recognises a number of different holidays, festivals and national celebrations throughout the year as an important element of our co-curricular programme. These events are not mandatory and are held outside the teaching day to allow parents and friends to attend; some occur in the evening. However be warned - food is inevitably an important element of each event. The Event Calendars below show some of the events planned so far; more events will be added as the year advances. Check the newsletter for details.

Role of the Parents
At IST we believe strongly in the home-school-student triangle and that parents have certain responsibilities in the teaching/learning process. Click here for some of these responsibilities. The School’s Parent, Teachers and Friends Association (PTFA) will shortly have their details posted here.
