MANILA, Philippines - Finding the right school these days is not an easy task, especially if you’re a parent wanting to find one for your child, or you’re a student who wants to land in a school that can equip you with the right skills, knowledge and values.

International School of Hotel Tourism Management (IS-HTM), a dynamic hospitality and culinary school with modern facilities anchored on a strong commitment to live up to a tradition of excellence and innovation, is making it easy to choose for students and parents alike with its international approach to education. 

IS-HTM’s students are members of the Global Café of the American Hospitality Academy, an interactive network of hospitality students worldwide.  Members of the Global Café of the American Hospitality Academy communicate with students all over the world to share their academic and personal learning experiences.  

“Learning from your peers from the other side of the globe adds fun to your study at IS-HTM,” Joji Ilagan-Bian, CEO of the school said.

The hospitality and culinary school is located in a campus with a modern four-storey building equipped with fully air-conditioned state-of-the-art classrooms and resource and library hub, professional-grade kitchens, interactive hotel training center, wireless technology, and a contemporary dining restaurant where students can gain real experience in service.

“We aim to develop the total personality and communication skills of our students and so we have integrated Personality and Professional Development in our curriculum all throughout the years that the student stays with us. This gives our students the added confidence they need to face the challenges of the business world upon graduation,” she added.

The school offers support beyond the four walls of the classroom. IS-HTM provides a Career and Internship office dedicated to assist students in their internship or “workplace experience” in any country of their choice.
