What a gel rest school
I’ll do my best to post an honest, informative review, as I have three children attending.
ISLA is a Spanish-immersion charter school that has qualified as an International Baccalaureate World School. That means they follow the IB curriculum, which encourages students to think critically and learn through both a local and global context. The curriculum also promotes character development and social skills. Generally, IB schools have prepared students well for higher education.
Jeremy Perrin serves as the principal. From my limited perspective, he does a good job caring for the students and staff while advocating for educational advancement.
I personally prefer a Socratic style of teaching, which you won’t find as much here as in some private schools, but you also don’t pay anything for this education. However, I do think they could improve significantly in this aspect. More important than information dissemination is training a child to think critically, employ logic and reason, and challenge ideas not founded on those elements.
In my copious amount of research, and now from personal experience, I have found the the school does very well at educating children to surpass government standards, while fostering important values. Equally important is their ability to do this without involving themselves in political persuasions of the day, which is always a temptation.
Love the school and the staff !!!
