This school was purchased by a Chinese company who has destroyed the school. They got rid of all scholarships for European kids. They kicked out all kids who were on scholarships. Teachers and admin are all quitting. Kids are miserable. Stay clear!

I liked you could meet students from all over the world and there was a college block schedule. They also have a variety of clubs and activities available.

In downtown Melbourne so we dropped our son on our way to work. The campus is medium-sized but the class sizes are small and we liked that, also a lot of new technology and classroom updates this past year, I wish they had been around from the beginning. Would recommend for the faculty and admin, they know the students by name and are always available to meet, unlike our previous school. Good academic support and a nice mix of kids from all backgrounds.

Academics are the worst I have seen in any school. My child had to do remedial classes to get into any college. SAT scores were terrible!
