About Us
 IST was founded on the premise that high-quality, results-based standardized test preparation, tutoring/supplemental education, and comprehensive college planning services should be available to students from all academic, economic, geographic, and cultural backgrounds.
Our mission is to foster a culture of success in which each student strives to attain independent mastery of the respective subject matter.
We are firmly committed to the following guiding principles:
- We drive our students to stretch their own learning
capacity through varied curricula to meet a variety of needs for
optimal performance in academic and standardized test-taking arenas.
- We help our students create their own uniquely
sensitive and relevant study techniques.
- Our one-on-one and small classroom settings promote an atmosphere
of respect and an environment designed to build on each student’s
existing academic foundation and individual desire to excel.
- Our students and their parents can rely on IST
to be an ethical, reliable, and responsible corporate citizen.
- We are involved in our communities and will work
with educational institutions, non-profit entities, and faith-based
organizations to bring the IST curriculum to a specific venue
if it meets our classroom criteria.
