Another school, this one inspired the following thought: "we are self-contained and content to be as, and who, we are".
This is ACS, no longer catering only to Americans as the name would imply; reportedly, ACS has a very international student body.
However, many of the children are transients. Your child's friend(s) may have to leave soon, move to another country. Sad.
Therein lies a problem.
Otherwise it seems that the school(s) has its act together, wants to have fun in teaching and learning; its teachers try to inspire creative thinking; and lots of empowerment (to use one of Human Resources' many emetic mumbo-jumbos) goes to the "kids".
Also children are encouraged to take little if any homework home... Learn to work well & efficiently.
Sounds good.
Very expensive.
Conflicting views on academic achievement of its alumni. No one seems to dispute, however, that children have fun at ACS.
Who is the lady in the picture opposite? As a special treat, the first three students to give the correct answer will get a bonus extra 5 points on their IB results!
