A - Mar 2015
B There was often one-on-one support for students who had learning challenges. This was fantastic! However, not all support had a lot of experience in working with learning difficulties. There was always enrichment work for the gifted students and teachers did their best to challenge them. However, there could have been programming in this area. - Aug 2014
ISI did a wonderful job challenging my kids. I believe my children would be classified as gifted having recently been tested in the top 10 percentile in an IQ test professionally administered in the U.S. One of my concerns initially was if the school was flexible in tailoring advanced assignments for them to keep them academically motivated and progressing. I requested meetings at the beginning of the school year with the Math and English teachers to discuss our family expectations and the kids' abilities. We had very productive meetings and I sincerely believe my kids were challenged appropriately throughout the year. - May 2014
Non-existent. We did not find the needs of gifted students were met e.g., parents of students with learning difficulties are expected to pay extra fees to the school. - Apr 2014
This school is NOT suited for children who have special needs whatsoever despite what they may say. They have great difficulty differentiating instruction among kids with differing ability levels. - Mar 2014
