My son has been in the school since he was four and a half years old. I never knew how important Maths was until I found out recently, Without Higher Level Maths IB diploma (AI or AA), you cannot do a STEM degree. My son's maths grade remain at a level 3 to 4, when I kept raising my concerns to the teachers, the reply that I would always get, is he just need to focus and try harder. this continued all the way up to grade 8. Not once was I told my son might need a private maths tutor to help him. We decided to get private lessons for him in the end based on our concerns, His grades shot up to 5 and 6. After his IGCSE exams which he passed. The school tried to convince us, that my son is better suited for Standard Level Maths, We asked for him to continue with Higher Level Maths AI. Instead the school has placed my son in an AA HL Maths Class. I have emailed to the administrator several times but not response. I believe the school do not have a teacher for the AI HL Maths, there is close to about 140 students doing the IB diploma, but some how only 40 pupils are in the AA HL Maths Class for one teacher. Not very good. we will continue with private lesson for our son and our second child who is in Middle School. Do not have faith anymore in the school system.

I've spent 9 years here now and honestly I Think ISL is great with amazing community, Facilities and teachers it has been a joy to go to ISL and I'm sad that I will soon leave. Just some problems I will note: Theres a social divide between genders :( Focus too much on grades (getting better now) Bad at handling bullying and such But good things like: extensive Facilities Being super Diverse LGBTQ support This is an amazing school and I would recommend

Parent of 2 students. Avoid! Poor teachers, who don’t care about students and leadership that doesn’t listen or care. Sexism from teachers, and favouritism among teaching staff children. Removing both next term.

I hate this place. The teachers are terrible, the learning is terrible. As a student and knowing many others agree with me I can confidentially say that you should not bring your child to ISL.
