"Excellent Education and Values"

We moved to a different area 3 years ago, but we still look back on our time at IGS with fondness. The school's values of inclusivity and respect for all cultures really resonated with us, and our child benefited greatly from the educational programs on offer. We highly recommend IGS to anyone looking for a nurturing environment for their child.

"Mixed Feelings"

We've had a good experience at IGS, but there are some aspects that could be improved. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, and the teachers are generally supportive. However, we've noticed that the school's focus on choice and freedom can sometimes lead to a lack of structure and accountability. We're not sure if this is a result of the school's values or just a teething problem.
