International School of Tallinn

🎉✨ Today, we are celebrating the successful completion of the 2025–2026 academic year!

Our school community came together for a wonderful Closing Ceremony, marking the end of another year filled with learning, growth, and achievements. Seeing so many students, parents, and staff celebrating together made this day truly special. 💙

🌟 Today was also an important milestone for our PYP 5 and MYP 5 students. Earlier this morning, they took part in their Certificate Ceremonies, celebrating the successful completion of their programmes and the exciting transition to the next stage of their IB journey.

Congratulations to all our students for their hard work, resilience, and accomplishments throughout the year. We wish everyone a joyful summer and look forward to welcoming you back for new adventures and opportunities in the next academic year! ☀️📚

🎓✨ At the end of May, we celebrated an unforgettable DP Graduation Ceremony! Congratulations to our DP2 students on reaching this important milestone. We are proud of your hard work, dedication, and achievements throughout your IB journey. 🌍📚

🌱 This year also marked the beginning of a new school tradition. The DP2 Class of 2026 planted the very first Graduation Tree in our park — an Alumni Tree that will grow alongside the memories, friendships, and accomplishments of our graduates.

We look forward to seeing this tradition continue for many years to come. 💚

International School of Tallinn is proud to be one of the consortium partners in AI-TransformED – Competences, Culture and Capacities for Generative Artificial Intelligence in Education and Training, a newly launched Erasmus+ Forward-Looking Project.

Through this collaboration, IST looks forward to contributing to discussions and practices around AI readiness, institutional capacity-building, teacher competences, and the development of sustainable approaches for using AI in education.

We are delighted to be part of this inspiring European consortium and to work alongside our partners in shaping thoughtful, ethical, and future-ready approaches to AI in education.

🌍🍽️ What an amazing Food Fair!

This year, we set ourselves a challenge: to bring together food from every continent—and we did it! From Asia to North America, from Europe to Africa, and from South America to Oceania, our community shared a wonderful variety of flavors, traditions, and cultures.

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed, participated, and made this event so special. Everything was absolutely delicious, and it was wonderful to see our community come together to celebrate diversity through food. ❤️

💼✨ Today we had an amazing Business Fair at Ülemiste keskus

Our IST students presented their own business projects and brought ready products to sell throughout the day 🛍️

This was a great opportunity to understand how business works in practice — from creating an attractive product to setting a competitive price. Real-life experiences like this go far beyond what can be learned only in the classroom.

Well done to all our students for their creativity and effort 👏 Thank you to everyone involved in making this event a success!

We are proud to celebrate an outstanding achievement! 🎻✨

Our Grade 5 student, Melissa Alexandra Gurova, has won 1st place at the national competition Parim Noor Instrumentalist 2026. 🏆

Melissa’s dedication, talent, and passion for the violin truly shine through her success. Congratulations on this wonderful accomplishment — we are very proud of you! 🌟

🚀 This Saturday, our school hosted an incredible event!

The Youth Tech Summit brought its conference to our campus, creating an inspiring day full of ideas and innovation 💡

We welcomed speakers from leading organisations such as LHV, Wise, TalTech, Swedbank, and IST, who shared their knowledge and experience with our community.

Our School Director, Mr. Olavi, also spoke about how IST continuously develops and integrates technology and AI into school operations and education 🤖📚

Thank you to everyone who made this event so memorable!

🌍✨ PYP Exhibition Highlights

Last week, our Grade 5 students showcased their incredible PYP Exhibition projects! 💡

From recycling ♻️ and fast fashion 👕 to global warming 🌱, it’s inspiring to see how deeply our students care about our planet and its future.

Their curiosity, creativity, and passion truly shined — we couldn’t be prouder! 💙
