One of the things I really appreciate is the dining program at ISM. We've been navigating some food sensitivities/allergies and Chef ensures that there's always options for my son. It has been a huge stress relief knowing that he is well cared for and well fed. Plus the food is delicious and nutritious and my kid loves it. The emphasis on balanced and diverse meals reassures me that he will be ready to learn I am pleased with the quality and variety of food provided at ISM.

It is a academically strong school, but the sport in this school seems insignificant. Teachers are nice and students are included. The diversity is great. You have a lot of resources here. There are many activities and clubs.

I've had a wonderful experience with ISM. Staff are friendly, welcoming and go out of their way to answer questions. The campus is lovely and offers various sports activities and after school classes for students to attend. My kids are currently in summer camp and are having the best summer yet. I am looking forward to the start of a new school year, learning and exciting opportunities for my children to get involved in.
