"Great high school...Advance learning."

"I am part of the IB diploma and even though it can be hard sometimes, the small campus and low amount of students makes you feel a closer connection. Over the summer there have been remodelation to the building and now it looks really nice as well."

"Some teachers at this school are great! Specifically the math teachers teach very well but give loads of homework. I am talking like 50 problems per class. My kids are already at school for 8 hours and they need to do 2 hours worth of math homework and other teachers homework as well, which is CRAZY! They leave the house around 7 am and do schoolwork straight for 15 hours they don’t have enough time to rest and enjoy their high school. I am editing this comment because after writing thus review, there has no been no improvement. I saw another review stating how a lot of it is busy work, and that is true. My kids are working 15 hours a day, STRAIGHT. They have to do it the night of or else they won’t have enough time the next day. I am very disappointed because IB is supposed to be a good school, but it is not. No matter how nice the teachers are, they assign to much work for ONE person. I see my child losing the self at this school. DO NOT GO HERE! If you want your kid to have enough time to shower, don’t go here. This school is more likely to kill my child than the coronavirus."

"I heard from parents that most of the teachers there give too much (excessive) home works to students."

"I don't know where I would be now without this school and their great teachers."
