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.

Every year, IST Primary holds their Student Council Elections early in the year. Student Council is for the students, by the students! They outline ideas, promises, and goals they would like to achieve in the school year. In addition, they also listen to the wider student body at school to make sure all voices have a chance to be heard. So, join us in welcoming these new students to our Student Council board for school year 26-27! #student #Studencouncil #InternationalSchools #enschede #dips ...
