The International School of Tucson (IST), located in the University area of Tucson, offers an internationally-based and internationally-grounded bilingual programme of instruction in French / English, German / English and Spanish / English. The School's philosophy and pedagogical approaches encourage students to investigate topics without being restricted by traditional compartmentalisation or methods of instruction, and thus allow the learner to develop global understanding.

The International School of Tucson (IST) is open at the Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten levels with full-immersion German, French and Spanish. We also have plans to open Arabic-language and Chinese-language (Mandarin) classes as soon as minimum student numbers are reached.

Our chief educational goals illustrate the School’s uniqueness:

• Education for an International Community
• Full-Language Immersion
• Values for a Global Society

An international faculty ensures that languages are taught by native speakers who are also able to transmit their cultures, values, information and beliefs.

Please look around our site; we have tried to answer any question you might have. For more on the International School of Tucson or its programme, or for a pre-opening meeting please contact the Head of School.
