 * 6. What is the role of English in our school?**

//At IST, English is the language through which students learn. Students learn to use English in school as a language through which everyone can be included. // As an international school, we use English as the medium of instruction, recognizing that it is already being used as an international auxiliary language in fields of business, diplomacy and academia. The families who choose our school expect their children to develop strong academic English that will enable them to serve internationally in any field of endeavour.
