Our Strategic
Direction

After a long process including input from all IST stakeholders and the Board of Directors, the following is the School’s strategic direction.

Moving the International School of Turin to the next level of success

Using a design thinking process, we feel we have captured the essence of what our school needs to focus on during the next three years. Our approach intentionally involved reflection and consensus from the Board of Directors, faculty/staff, students and parents, to build common understandings about the school’s direction. It has allowed us to set aspirational strategies that are co-constructed.

Learning is the main area the school will focus its strategy on during 2021-2024 as it is the reason for which the school exists and the area we can greatly and positively impact. We know we need to empower our students for tomorrow’s world as well as today’s and that it will involve teaching for facing the unknown. By focusing on excellence in learning, we locate ourselves at the heart of our mission.
