At IST Secondary, we teach roughly 140 students from over 30 countries. We take pride in our small classes filled with friendly students, dedicated team of professional teachers and warm atmosphere. IST Secondary works with the Cambridge Lower Secondary programme in years 7-9, the Cambridge IGCSE in years 10 and 11 and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in years 12 and 13. Our graduating students leave IST with an IB DP diploma which grants them access to universities globally. 

We are housed in Enschede-Zuid and have our own department within a building we co-habit with our Dutch partner school. Together, we share sports grounds, science lab facilities and well-designed music and arts classrooms.
