Excellent. I do not have any issues here either. All incidents that I am made aware of either from my children, from the teachers, or from other parents were respectfully discussed and addressed. There were "bullying" incidents that my child personally experienced and the administrative staff/teachers all worked as a team to make things better. I felt we were taken care of in a caring and earnest manner. As much as we try as adults to not have our children bullied, these incidents crop up from time-to-time anywhere in the world. To this end, I am grateful that the staff pulled together quickly and supported my child during this very difficult part of growing-up. - May 2014
Poor. School is unresponsiveness or defensive to parents' concerns. - Apr 2014
So-so. The big thing to know about this school is that they are not in any way receptive to parent concerns. They are currently employing a bunch of marginally qualified teachers on a part-time basis to teach our kids. One person teaches science, one teaches math, one teaches English, etc. They say that this is so that each person can teach what he or she feels most comfortable teaching but a qualified teacher should be able to teach ALL basic elementary subjects to young kids. Our child's "homeroom" teacher only works 4 days per week. Try getting away with that at another international school! - Mar 2014
