International School Port of Spain

Pre-k thru high school
Children who live in the immediate area sometimes walk to school. All other children are driven. Crime is a real concern so driving is preferable.
Facilities do not meet expectations. The school has added a new tent-like gym but the children's play areas are often muddy and swampy. After school activities are treated as babysitting services and too much time is devoted to coping with the children who would really rather not be there.
The school has switched to the International Baccalaureate program and we've found that our child is falling behind his peers back home.
Our coffee mornings usually consist of the Principal fielding complaints about the school and program.
Our experience has really only been with the grade school. Our child is getting behind academically and we've been frustrated by the religious teachings being taught, without parents knowledge, in the youngest grades. Many parents assure us that other International Schools are much better. I certainly hope that is true.
