I am a parent of a 4th grader, Jordan who has attended ISM since preschool. ISM is certainly part of our family. As a parent it is the neatest experience to walk through the school and realize that almost every teacher knows your child by name. As a parent this tells me that she can turn to any adult at and get what she needs. THAT IS AMAZING. It also speaks to the high level of commitment the staff and teachers have at ISM.

Now that I am at university, I've realized how much ISF paid off in the long-run and I want to thank you and all my teachers for what they have done for me. It was certainly a struggle with many worries to receive my high school diploma and AP's; nevertheless, almost 30 credits saving me 2 semesters at university really made me appreciate the effort it took to achieve these goals. In addition, I was extremely well prepared for college level work by ISF and so far got very good grades in all courses I took, which almost suprised me considering I was one of the students that had to study hard to achieve good grades in high school. Again, thank you and all other teachers that have taught me for their effort and influence on me!

It was a great visit. I hope you are terribly proud of that school. We saw the SABIS® educational system working on all cylinders... In the rooms we visited, across the grades, we saw consistently strong instruction delivered by able teachers who are deeply committed to the SABIS® methods, to the school, and to each other. We also saw perfect behavior throughout the day. We were amazed by the longevity of teachers there--several we met had been there nearly since the school opened--unheard of in charter schools, and persuasive evidence of the unique sustainability and scalability of the model.
