It is a program certified in 160 countries around the world, which provides students with a comprehensive and competitive education, as well as a solid foundation for academic and professional success. Graduates of the school will have the opportunity to study at the most prestigious universities in the world, given their excellent level of knowledge that meets international standards.

During the event, those interested will be able to familiarize themselves with the RTU student campus – faculties and laboratories where ISST students will study, opening up wider opportunities to use the university’s resources in the learning process. According to the Cambridge system, students will learn English, mathematics, physics, chemistry and other subjects. A special program is being created that will help improve students’ personality and leadership skills. It is also intended to provide students with individual support so that they can continue their academic career in the most suitable higher education institution for each.

Admission of students to ISST will be done by prospective students taking an entrance test in English, mathematics and logic, as well as participating in an interview. The exam is expected on June 1.

Already in 2015, RTU founded a similar secondary education institution – RTU Engineering High School (IZV), giving talented Latvian youth the opportunity to learn exact and natural sciences at a particularly high level. IZV students have lived up to the expectations of the founders, excellently demonstrating their knowledge at the local and international level. There is a lot of interest in studies at IZV – there are about 10 applicants for one study place.
