The best part of the experience was the IB program. It prepared me for college and rigorous coursework. However, the downside was lack of preparedness and lack of suitable teachers for this program. The teachers were unaware how to teach IB classes and how to prepare for final exams.

The staff is unavailable for help, they refuse to let you drop classes you struggle in, it is ridiculous the amount of rules given and discipline instilled for small infractions. Send your daughter ANYWHERE else. Her 4.0 GPA w...
