The school offers English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish as languages with external language certifications aligned to CEFR standards. English uses Cambridge standards; French uses DELF standards; German uses Goethe standards; Italian uses PLIDA; Spanish uses DELE. External language certifications follow CEFR levels (A1–C2). Preparation for language certifications is embedded in the curriculum, and external exams are included in tuition with IST bearing the costs once for each level.
