T	Tony Stark on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The chemistry teacher is really cool, he makes chemistry likable otherwise i would not have taken this subject.
C	Chenghao Liu on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ As one of the first graduates, I would like to say that yes indeed this young school still have aspects that can be improved, but perhaps because of this, there are many opportunities. I learned not only a lot of knowledge but the method of self-study. I started many things, failed many, succeeded many. I in a way became more determined and motivated here. I learned to fight for what I want, to pursue but not let go of things that you truly want. I thank this place. It was a remarkable experience that has determined to be an important time of my life. Some great teachers and great friends here I met here. Hoping to come back a few years and see its change. Oh well farewell my friends, farewell Enschede, farewell the Netherlands, farewell Europe. I'm coming back one day, one day.
J	Jasmin K on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I have been attending this school for nearly 5 years now, and will graduate from IST this year. Throughout the years I've experienced positive and negative things in this school. I will be honest, the school can be a bit unorganized at times, and I can tell you I have complained about it a lot. But, and this is a big but, the school is very young and, considering how young it is, there are so many opportunities at IST that I wouldn't have at any other school. I learned to be self-motivated, self-reliant and to self-study, which can only be to my advantage at university. I was able to start my own club, as long as I created a thought through plan to back it up. Many others did the same, there is now a student-run honor society and student council. I also am able to take exams one year earlier than my age would let me in a regular school, without having to be exceptional at school. There is a friendly atmosphere at IST that I haven't experienced at any other school. All the teachers are really friendly and helpful. I get to be with people from all over the world with different perspectives. All in all IST is full of potential and opportunities. It is quite young and, therefore, still has room for improvement. However, I am glad I got to go to this school, to be a part of this community, and I recommend IST to anybody who is considering going here.
R	R F on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The school is very unorganized. The amount of hours which were teached were not acceptable. Schedule was filled up with volunteer teaching hours. Some teachers did not speak fluent English. The international school is only attached to a Dutch school which means the school is not independent. I hope that helps.
B	Bianca Soria on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ In the second half of last year the school has undergone a transition phase, due to relevant changes at management level. This has resulted in some disruption in terms of general organization and timetable. What has been mentioned in the below review (which has been written in March by a parent who has left the school at the beginning of November and hasn’t therefore been here to witness the changes) applies to the beginning of the school year 2018/2019. Since then, thanks to the planning and competence of the new school Director, things have improved greatly. The amount of hours taught meet the Dutch legal standards, and while like many International schools we do have volunteers helping out, the subjects are being taught by qualified teachers, both Dutch and from a varied international background. IST is a Dutch International School, which means that there is cooperation between the school and the Dutch government, and it also means that the school fees are kept considerably lower than independent International schools. For more information on DIS schools please check their website. Having been a parent with children in IST for a number of years now, I can say that while not perfect it has a lot going for it, and that I have never felt so confident in its future as I do now. If you are thinking of moving to the Twente region it is definitely worth dropping in to have a look for yourself. Hope this helps.
V	Vangelis Bailakis on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Our two children have been attending the International School of Twente since the beginning of this school year and it is obvious that the school has been going through a period of constant positive changes which obviously lead to a more stable and promising learning environment. Since the very first day our children have experienced the genuine interest of both the teachers and the rest of the staff who have contributed considerably to making their integration in the new school community,as smooth as possible.They have always been willing to talk with us over our concerns and cooperate with us for the best possible approach to any issue that has come up. Although the approach of more independent learning and self study can,at times,be quite challenging to students with a different educational background, it can, no doubt, have important benefits in the long run,fostering a strong sense of confidence to learners of all ages. We do feel that ,as is the case in most educational institutions,there is still room for improvement;yet we are absolutely convinced that the new Principal in cooperation with the highly qualified teachers and the rest of the staff have the potential to lead the school to even higher levels of quality education and academic achievements.
