What Our Students, Parents, and Teachers Say
We survey our community every year to help us understand the perspective of our diverse constituents and find ways to improve the school for everyone. In May 2017 the surveys were done by NEASC/CIS as part of our accreditation process. Here are some comments from our parents, students and teachers who completed the survey:
“Giving pupils the tools for discovery and self-improvement. Challenging them to achieve and get out of their comfort zone. At the same time academic rigor and curriculum is fulffilled.”
“I have been generally impressed across the board by the student experience, staff and learning environment.”
“IICS approachto learning is different for the better.”
“Wonderful school, positive learning environment and strong knit community.”
“There are many ways of learning in this school.”
“Innovative, student-empowering, energized, engaged, global. Really walking the talk.”
“I do recommend this school because of the teacher – student relationships.”
“Children are allowed to be individuals who can personalize their learning.”
“The environment you enter is always friendly. The teachers all have different personalities and encourage my learning and ideas.”
“IICS lives its mission – students are always engaged with their work – the whole community is commited to forward-thinking approaches to teaching and learning.”
“The school has a more open way of learning which allows the students to direct their own learning while at the same time allowing proper work to be made. Furthermore the school has a more open environment which means that there is more transparency in our learning process whereas other schools keep that relatively restricted to simply receiving a grade.”
