My experience as a student was amazing through 4th through 8th grade, very disciplined and the teachers really care about the student's performance and knowledge. It can get challenging but the school is overall the best place for a or your child to learn another language and new things.

Overall we love this school. My kids have made great friends and enjoy their time at school. You know they like school when it's hard to get them away from aftercare everyday.

ISL is a school with an international perspective. Every year each class learns about the customs, food and culture of a different country.
