The institute will be held on the campus of Asia Pacific Theological Seminary. Temperatures are moderate all year round. A 40,000-volume library, excellent classroom facilities, comfortable dorms and apartments, and beautiful views of the surrounding mountains provide a conductive envirorment for academic study and spiritual encounter. A limited number of scholarship are available for students needing assistance to attend. IIS is generously subsidized by mission-minded churches in Asia and America.
Instructors donate their services free of charge so the costs to students can kept to a minimum.
