            The International School of Toulouse (IST) opened in September 1999 
            for pupils of all nationalities aged 4 to 18. This new school has 
            been purpose-built to the highest specification on an open site in 
            Colomiers, on the western edge of Toulouse. The secondary and primary 
            sections are housed in separate 'wings' and linked by a central administrative 
            rotunda, which provides a striking main entrance to the school. The 
            buildings feature a range of contemporary facilities. In all areas 
            of the school, particular emphasis is placed on the creative and sophisticated 
            use of communications technology - all teaching rooms are networked 
            for individual laptop computer use, and pupils from the age of seven 
            upwards work with them.
             Programmes of study at International School of Toulouse are based 
              on the English National Curriculum, the IPC and enhanced by an international 
              perspective. In the secondary school, students are prepared for 
              the IGCSE and the International Baccalaureate Diploma programme. The International School of Toulouse aims to provide an overtly 
              positive and supportive learning environment. With a commitment 
              to the pursuit of academic excellence and attaching a high value 
              to creativity, imagination and the quest for knowledge and understanding, 
              the school encourages all students to discover and enjoy their individual 
              strengths and capacities. From the start of school, a high priority 
              is given to developing fluency in both English and French to promote 
              academic achievement and participation in the global community. Music has a particularly high profile in the International School 
              of Toulouse. It is seen as an integral part of the curriculum and 
              taught by specialist teachers from Reception upwards. A wealth of 
              opportunities is available for pupils to utilize their musical ability 
              in extra-curricular clubs and performances. Individual tuition is 
              also available on a wide range of instruments.  |
