Very open-minded and creative, experiential school. I am really happy to have my child go here. It’s not pretentious, overly controlling or rigid and yet the academics are stellar as well. They have a garden and outdoor activities, and a number of good teachers.

Teachers indoctrinate kids to eastern spirituality. Teachers aren't sympathetic to religious freedoms of Christian families.

I have 2 kids at IDES. I appreciate the teachers and their efforts in working with kids to instill confidence and self awareness. I'm grateful that my older kid gets special attention to keep her challenged.
