The ISM is a secondary school that offers education for 7 years.
For the first three years, (Form 1–3) students follow a program in preparation for MYP (Middle Year Programme).
Next, two following years (Form 4 and 5) cover the MYP programme.
Once students reach the age of 16 it is their choice to continue in education as IB (International Baccalaureate) students.
The rooftop of the International School of Maastricht has been used as a location for measuring spectrum occupancy across multiple studies.
