The Admissions Office at the International School of the Peninsula is here to help you as you search for the right school for your son or daughter! We believe that the best way to get to know us is to meet the people of ISTP. We have structured our admission events with this goal in mind: to hear from the administration, to see the teachers in action, and to interact with current parents at the school. If you have questions about the bilingual process and how parents deal with its challenges, please visit our Community Resources section >>

Information Nights
These evenings are structured to provide you with a deeper understanding of our unique school. During our time together, you will learn about our dual language immersion curriculum from nursery through 8th grade. You will also have ample opportunities to speak with the Director of Admissions, other school administrators, and current parents, who will be available to answer questions you might have about the application process, the curriculum, and school life.

NOTE: Please do not bring your children to the Information Night. Thank you.

Admission Tour
Tours of our school give you the opportunity to see our school up-close and personal. Prospective parents will be invited to observe classes in session. Current parents at our school will be available to share their knowledge through more informal discussions. Admissions Tours begin at 9 a.m. at the Cowper campus. The tour then continues directly afterwards at 10 a.m. at the Cohn campus. The visit to the Cohn campus is optional but highly recommended as it gives prospective parents a look into our elementary and middle school.

NOTE: Children are allowed, but not preferred, to come on the Admission Tour.
