Editorial review summary
Parent reviews highlight the school's rigorous academic environment and the holistic benefits of the IB curriculum. Many appreciate the 'family-like' community and the unique Outdoor Experiential Ecological Education (OE3) program that utilizes the 27-acre campus. However, some parents note the high cost of tuition and additional fees (uniforms, trips) as a barrier. The workload is described as demanding, particularly in the Diploma Programme years, requiring strong student commitment. There is also mention of a wealthy student demographic, though the community is generally described as welcoming.
