"It was a big change transferring from a small international school in France to FIS. Coming here where my grade had 142 students proved to be intimidating at first, but I quickly adapted and am enjoying my time here.  FIS has a great selection of IB courses to choose from, which allowed me to pick the courses I’m interested in and still meet all the requirements to complete the full IB diploma."

"When I moved from Middle School to High School it often feels the same and sometimes I forget that I am in Grade 9. Since Middle School and High School are at the same campus, it makes it a lot easier to transition from one to the other. I have found myself in the same classrooms where I was in Grade 6, and it's very nostalgic."

"FIS does a phenomenal job of preparing students for the next phase of their academic career, be that university or something else. They put a strong emphasis on organizational skills and time management - qualities needed at higher levels of education - but also make sure to provide assistance so that no student falls through the cracks.  Every teacher I have had has a lot of experience teaching at the IB level, so the quality of instruction is incredibly high."

"The emphasis on service at FIS helps students connect with communities across the world and fosters an awareness of global issues. It allows us to take the initiative to support a cause that we are passionate about and see firsthand the impact that we, as a community, can have. I have been fortunate enough to have become a part of the Kalahari Experience. Through the initiative, I was able to see, firsthand, the impact our actions have on the lives of others."
