I am a freshman here at the International Academy or the 'IA.' Joining a new school, in a different city during a pandemic was, I will admit, quite scary. However, since having been attending in person and online here at the IA for around seven months, I can, without a doubt, say that my fears were unfounded. The IA is amazing: people are welcoming and the amount of religious, ethnic, and political diversity is unrivaled. The teachers and staff are amazing: they want students to succeed and are willing to go the extra mile to help them do that.
One thing I would change about IA is the class size. If class sizes were smaller it would be easier for students to learn: due to more opportunities to participate and questions during class. According to Fremont College, “...fewer than 20 students...results in more individual attention... participation, and... communication...” Smaller class sizes would be a very beneficial change, but as a whole, the IA is an outstanding school.

I'm already in my 2nd semester as a freshmen in this High School. Before I came here, I read many reviews about how amazing this school is academically and socially. So far, I have been in amazing clubs and opportunities that will help in the future. Not only does this school prepares you for college, it also is very safe and caring environment. Everybody including the teachers and staffs are very polite and well-mannered. Everybody respects each others pronouns, backgrounds, and culture which is another reason why I really like this school. The diversity and environment of this school is very amazing. Overall, my experience has been great in this school so far and would definitely recommended others who want to prepared for college to come here.
I like that the school challenges me since it is an International Baccalaureate school. It has taught me a lot of study skills and overall perseverance.

Academic wise, International Academy is very good. It readies the students for their colleges, and although some things we do are extra, it gives us something to write about on our college resumes!
However, sports and clubs wise, we are unfortunately very limited.

The International Academy is a great school overall. It has many characteristics that make it the outstanding school that it is.
I applied because I wanted to do the IB program. I now find myself immersed in an extremely diverse and goal-oriented community. The teachers are extremely kind and do everything they can to help you improve
It is a great school for academic. The students are really motivated and push each other to do better. The curriculum is tough and prepares students for college. The major downside is that it is too academics focused. Students must go to other schools for sports and are often stressed by the competitive environment.
Excellent coursework and support to help with the rigorous curriculum. Often times people expect all International Academy students to be geniuses, but most students are normal students with a good work ethic.
It is a very positive environment with teachers that are willing and able to help. However, a main problem is the lack of diversity in clubs and the nonexistence of school sponsored sports.
I think it is a great place that encourages students to be the best. There is a very tight knit community which helps students to create long lasting friendships.
The education is exceptional meaning like the content is good and the teachers prepare you well but the school community is really not the best and is kind of toxic.
School sets high knowledge standards ,very competitive,very organized ,teachers helpful.Kids come from varied backgrounds which increases exposure .
I enjoyed the experience at International Academy East. The teachers there are always looking for your best interest, and really want to help you achieve your academic goals. The school culture is very different from an average high-school because of the small student-body. It is a community where everyone knows everybody. There are no sports offered at the school, but students can participate in sports at there home high schools.
- Teachers are truly invested in students
- Student voices are heard
- Hard conversations are not shied away from
- Excellent preparations for IB Exams

Very good education and teachers are amazing! However, social opportunities can be limited. Depending on the grade, students can be competitive and overly obsessed with academic performance.
The International Academy has given me the opportunity to become a better global leaner. From its rigorous academics to the many extracurriculars, there are many opportunities to learn and gain skills needed for college.
It is a great school with much diversity. However, it is a small school that would need renovating since it is not the most hygienic. Not only that, but it does not have as much high school culture since sports are not available.
