Teachers are very supportive and involve the parents a lot which is nice. They have made significant positive changes since changing to sics from Sabis. I like the increase in sports and the addition to events like father and daughter dance and kindergarten graduations. My daughter really enjoys coming to school daily and loves her teachers.

This school is a decent school but for a specific group of people. You enjoy being around new people often this is not the school for you . it is more for students who are certain they want to attend college and is not the best for sports

Sabis International Charter School Springfield Ma is the best. Discipline strict and good....I believe in the saying "spare the rod, spoil the child", My kids are in 2nd and 3rd grade and is the best school I could ask for. It strives for both academic and extra curricula activities. Go Sabis Gooooo...
