It's a very good school because you get to experience things with different perspectives. There is a lot of diversity and that is one of the major thing that represent this school. Everyone speaks a different language and that is great because you can get to know others people from other countries. We get an internship in the 11th grade and we have an iMentor program, which is great because you can talk with adults and get their experience they got in college and with that they can help you find the best fit for you. One of my best experiences at this school is that I got to make friends, explore my options and learn. One thing that teachers always teach us is to respect one another because we all struggled, for example my struggle was the language but with the help of my teachers I got ahead.

I like how assorted my school is there is understudies from numerous countries. I might want to see some american children students in this school. I have great experience on this school which I nearly been going to for a while so I have picked up my English a considerable measure better since I begin heading off to this school. This school is better than average for who originated from other countries and there age adequate to go secondary school yet old for middle school I prefer them to go this school. Because this school is good for language learners.
IHSL is a fun place to go to school. I get to learn something new everyday and the environment is healthy and fun, yet educative. When we have feast day, people bring food from their own country and dress up traditionally--it's amazing!
