Founded in 1963 as the American International School of Torino near Caselle. The school moved to Villa Virginia in the hills of Turin in 1966 and opened the Pecetto campus at Villa Mogna in 1974. NEASC and ECIS accreditations were awarded in 1984, and Villa Roddolo Campus opened in 1985 to support growth. IB Diploma authorization was granted in 1990, the first IB class graduated in 1992, and IB Primary Years Programme and IB Middle Years Programme authorizations followed in 2006 and 2008. A new campus in Chieri opened in 2010 with a Good School Food Programme, and IST celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2023.
The IST community includes students, parents, teachers, staff and the Board of Directors, united in a common goal, to create a wonderful atmosphere for learning. The IST community engages in activities and events that bring families together and support the school. The PTA runs events such as International Day, ISTathon, Winter Market and other activities that involve the wider IST family. Through these activities, families and staff collaborate to support student learning.
The PTA is active in the IST Community, sponsoring fund-raising events and creating a strong partnership between parents and the School. Membership of the PTA is open to all parents and teachers. The PTA aims to foster positive working relationships between parents and the School, enabling parents to contribute to their children's education. We sponsor fundraising events to raise funds for both the School and charities. PTA events include Party Committee, Welcome and Hospitality Committee, Charity Committee, Luncheons, Bake Sale, Winter Market, ISTathon, International Day and Room Parents.
