Reviews
- Parent reviews split sharply. Strong IB results sit alongside operational complaints. The 2024 IB Diploma cohort posted a 97 percent pass rate with average score 33.
- The most repeated parent criticism is supervision in the lower grades. One parent reported that children are "left alone during breaks", described as dangerous.
- Teaching is described as inconsistent. Critical reviews say some teachers are not equipped for PYP delivery and progress feedback is thin.
- Administration draws repeated complaints: parent emails reported as ignored, an exclusive PTA, and inefficient admissions communication.
- Staff echo the management concerns, citing high turnover and overload from administrative tasks. Facilities are described as good but poorly run.
