French, German and Spanish are taught as first and second languages from Grade 6 through Grade 12. The study of a language other than English is a key skill valued at IST, fostering appreciation of other cultures and understanding of one's own language and culture. We value the range of languages spoken at home and recognise that this diversity is taken into account in teaching and learning, with the aim that students become proficient communicators in more than one language.
The International School of Toulouse is located on a four-hectare site in Colomiers and serves students aged 3 to 18. The school offers the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) and Diploma Programme (DP), along with the Cambridge IGCSE for Grades 9–10. IST's IB World School status dates back to 2000. Classes are small to support close teacher interaction and individualized learning.
