guestWe have also sent our 7 year old son to ISOCS last year and have been very happy about it from the beginning. What differentiates ISOCS I think is really the individual attention each child gets, which is extremely important when you are in a new environment. It took him only a couple of weeks to adjust and after that there was considerable improvement in his adoptation. The teachers are very knowledgable, sincerely trying to help and overall atmosphere is "family like". Mrs. Jax is doing a great job in finding good teachers, arranging clubs and growing the school. They keep regular blogs about what the kids are doing at school, which is also helping family members back home to follow. We are extremely happy as well!
