Feb 13, 2013 [![](https://blog.siliconvalleyinternational.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/2013NAbroad1_February_9.jpg?width=783&height=522&name=2013NAbroad1_February_9.jpg "2013NAbroad1_February_9")](http://blogs.istp.org/blog/2013/02/13/istp-choir-performs-at-palo-alto-neighbors-abroad-festival/2013nabroad1_february_9/) Did you know that Palo Alto has six sister cities around the world? They are - Palo, in the Philippines; Oaxaca, Mexico; Linkoping, Sweden; Enschede, in the Netherlands; Albi, France, and Tsuchiura, Japan. On February 9, Palo Alto held a festival to celebrate all its sister cities, and invited the INTL\* choir to perform! Our students impressed everyone by singing songs in French, Chinese, and English – including the song "Skyfall,” by Adele. It was a fun celebration of international connections and an amazing opportunity for our young singers. \*In 2020, the International School of the Peninsula (ISTP) formally changed its name to Silicon Valley International School (INTL) to better reflect its bilingual programs, location, and international values. - Recent - Popular - Categories ### Lists by Topic - [Middle School (79)](https://blog.siliconvalleyinternational.org/old-blog/topic/middle-school) - [Community (66)](https://blog.siliconvalleyinternational.org/old-blog/topic/community) - [Social Emotional Learning (37)](https://blog.siliconvalleyinternational.org/old-blog/topic/social-emotional-learning) - [Culture (28)](https://blog.siliconvalleyinternational.org/old-blog/topic/culture) - [High School (19)](https://blog.siliconvalleyinternational.org/old-blog/topic/high-school) - [Inquiry Learning (12)](https://blog.siliconvalleyinternational.org/old-blog/topic/inquiry-learning) ![INTL](https://blog.siliconvalleyinternational.org/hs-fs/hubfs/crop%20INTL.jpg?width=1120&height=331&name=crop%20INTL.jpg "INTL") ### Fostering bilingual leaders with boundless futures.
