International School Of Tucson:
IST’s campus is close to downtown Tucson, handy to nearby parks and sports facilities and within easy reach of many of the city’s museums, galleries and other amenities, essential to our Filed Trips programme. We are also within easy walking and biking distance to the University of Arizona where many of our parents work or study and to Pima Community College’s Downtown campus; parents have been known to leave their car in our carpark and cycle or skateboard to class!
The campus currently comprises three buildings, one has its own fully-enclosed play-yard the other two open onto a second. Each building offers parking, allowing parents easily and safely to accompany their child to and from class and avoiding crossing roads. The area surrounding IST is residential with a majority of student houses and apartments, and we are one block from a major arterial road without actually being on it adding further to the safety and comfort of our students.
We are also about ten blocks from the major freeway in Tucson, the I-10, on a bus-route to and from Tucson International Airport, route #6, and about half-way between two of the major east-west arterials, again without actually being on them.
