IBST's Student Support Team (SST) fosters students' academic, social, and emotional growth, with a Disciplinarian, Guidance Teachers, a Special Education Teacher, a Guidance Curriculum Teacher, and a College Counselor delivering a structured guidance curriculum and embedding Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) across classrooms.
Special Education Services provide IEP-based support for students who qualify after professional evaluation, including curriculum modifications, assessment accommodations, social skills training, and therapy (speech/occupational); ADHD, learning disabilities, language difficulties, and autism are cited as example needs, with generally integrated classroom support rather than a dedicated SEN resource.
An ESL program exists within Academic Affairs, and the School Profile states IBST offers an all-English program with Mandarin as a mandatory second language.
School Counseling is provided by professional counselors or on-campus psychologists; counseling is confidential except in cases of mandatory reporting, and sessions are typically held weekly with scheduling arranged to minimize impact on academics, in collaboration with parents and teachers.
Safeguarding is supported through confidential counseling practices and mandatory reporting where required, with information shared only among directly involved staff, and counseling not affecting academic records or future admissions.

Founded in 2006 as part of NNKIEH, IBST serves students in Grades 1–12 and was officially named IBST in 2012. The school provides a public, co-educational, college-preparatory program built on a western-style curriculum, with English as the language of instruction and Mandarin required as a first or second language. Mandarin and Chinese as a Second Language are taught within the Chinese language program, alongside AP courses in upper grades. The campus sits in a high-tech science park environment, offering exposure to multinational companies, universities, and research institutes. IBST emphasizes critical thinking, collaboration, and communication as School-Wide Learning Outcomes in a diverse, international student body representing about 14 countries. The school supports a range of co-curricular activities, including robotics, debate, MUN, and performing arts.
