Carolina International School

I have two children here doing extremely well. I have one 3rd grader who does "study island" and one in kindergarten. They both have excellent teachers.

I had two children who attended here. They do not differentiate with students---so if your child is behind in a subject matter they do not assist. We struggled for 3 years to get a IEP---they help gifted but not those below grade average. New administrator- focuses on mission instead of individual children and there needs. Since my two children have transferred to another school- they have been thriving- new school focuses on different learning styles and teaches at different levels. Concept of school is good- culture and environment but should not come at a detriment to reading, writing and arithmetic.

This school embraces each student to enable them to reach their full potential. The culture is also very in-line with nature and they have outdoor classes and eco-friendly studies as part of their normal routine!

Carolina International School focus is on the Whole child. They strive to integrate technology, the environment and the world community into the curriculum. The teachers are top notch.

Carolina International School teaches to the student, not the test. CIS has passionate teachers and families.

This is our first year at this school. I am very pleased with this school! The teachers are great! I would like to see them get a building and continue to add the 11th and 12 grades.

I am blessed to have the opportunity to give my children such a wonderful and enriching learning environment. Campus needs work, but with no federal money. They provide what the kids need to learn.

Our daughter entered kindergarten this year, and academically, this school goes above and beyond. I am quite impressed by the curriculum. I did not give it 5 stars due to the campus needing major updating. Being that the school does not have a gym, children are outside in cold weather for PE. Considering our daughter suffers from allergies, this is not a good thing either.

I have two children at CIS in 5th and in 7th.This school is doing and 'OK' job in the lower grades but a terrible job in the 7th +. They have all new teachers this year for the upper grades which makes me think there was a mass exodus last year. Two teachers were either let go or quit mid-year this year! Maybe there's a problem with administration? The curriculum has been remedial at best for my older child, compared to where we came from. My child is bored and losing interest in school. We've communicated with the teachers and principal numerous times but nothing has been done. At the informational meeting they make it sound as if they make an individual lesson plan for each kid. No. Also, they have the same teachers from 7th -10th, over and over. Looking elsewhere next year.
