Our values

The foundation of the IST curriculum is in its five values: Curiosity, Devotion, Honesty, Growth and Fun. Each action taken at IST has its roots in these values, which are further realized into the Learner Profile.

Devoted

We are resilient in the face of challenges. By staying true to ourselves and our community, we learn to tackle greater challenges and improve ourselves.

Growing

We commit ourselves to constant improvement, growing not only in knowledge and skills but also in character and commitment. Excellence is a habit of mind that must be practiced.

Curious

We give voice to our questions and follow our desire to find out answers. By sharing our curiosity, we build relationships and learn to work together, and make ourselves better as a result.

Honesty

We live in consistency with our values. By dealing honestly and fairly, we build lasting bonds of collaboration which strengthen us.

Fun

We find the value and humour in life. Enjoyment keeps us moving, and reminds us of the need for balance in different aspects of life.

DP1 visited the University of Twente on Monday, December 15. They were welcomed with an information session on Bachelor Programs. This was followed by a workshop on Business Administration by one of IST’s own parents, ms. Jezdimirovic Ranito. After lunch they got a sunny tour of the campus. It was a successful and inspirational visit. Thank you all for making this happen for our students!@utwente @enschede #careerprogram #IBDP ... See MoreSee Less
