The school's academics are challenging as they follow the IB program. However, the teachers help to motivate me to engage and understand the content on a deep level. This helps me to perform my best academically. The school’s environment allows me to know my classmates really well, and I feel welcomed in this school. The school also has an outdoor program that pushes me to explore the outdoors and appreciate the beauty of nature. Overall, I think that this school is great!
