Excellent school where kids are always encouraged and supported. Teachers are fantastic, they have high expectations and make learning fun. Our son went here from KG to HS graduation. We picked ISM over other, more famous private schools, liked their approach to teaching and it offered by far the best foreign language program and the best after school program. Very happy with our experience.

Our 7 year old  was being bullied by an older child (received actual death threats and physical abuse) and we reported it to the school.  The school initially appeared concerned and responsive, but we were very disappointed that the outcome was to pair our child with his bully in an exercise without appearing to have addressed the issue - and later to leave them together unsupervised where the bully recruited a friend to team up on our child.  We pulled our child out of the program due to safety concerns.   There are issues of understaffing (our child often could not find a supervisor to help him - or one who wasn't too overloaded to care) and very inexperienced poor judgment.

Great school. My son has been going here for the last 5 years since kindergarten. They have a great program although academically rigorous.  So if you plan on sending your children here, be prepared for a decent amount of work including final exams from the early years. I believe this has helped build discipline in my son to get used to putting in the time to get the results desired. More focus could be put into sports programs. Campus and infrastructure are nice. Class size is small which is good or bad depending on your perspective.
