International School of the Peninsula (ISTP, French: Ecole internationale de la Peninsule, (Traditional Chinese: 半島國際學校, Simplified Chinese: 半岛国际学校, Pinyin: Bàndǎo Guójì Xuéxiào[1]) is an independent co-ed nursery–8th grade Chinese & French language immersion day school located in Palo Alto, California.
International School of the Peninsula offers two bilingual immersion programs: Chinese-English and French-English.
The International School of the Peninsula (ISTP) was established in 1979 as the Peninsula French-American School (PFAS), founded by Charlotte de Géry. In 1996, the school added the Chinese-English program as well as a middle school and changed its name to become the International School of the Peninsula.
ISTP is celebrating its 30th anniversary during the 2009–2010 school year and will be marking the 15th anniversary of the Chinese-English immersion program in 2011.
ISTP has had nine appearances in the annual San Francisco Chinese New Year Festival and Parade. The school has received several awards in the Amateur Self-Built Float Category in previous years, winning 1st place from 2006 to 2009.)
