Wisconsin International School

The teaching staff at this school is absolutely wonderful. They strive and go above and beyond the expectations to give each and every child the best that they deserve. Also, the parents are highly involved and the children are some of the most wonderful individuals a person could ever meet. However, the only downfall is that the administration is highly unprofessional and poorly runs the school. The secretary almost runs the school herself instead of the principal. They are unorganized and cannot keep anything straight. If it weren't for the administration, my children would stay at this school because of the teachers, but sadly the administration and teachers are a package deal with the Wisconsin International School.

My children are finishing their second year at this school and it is a wonderful community. The teachers have been very good at tailoring my children's education to best enhance their needs. The academics are much more challenging than at our previous school. Because of the small class size, my children (who might have a tendency to sit back and not participate) are drawn into discussions. They have become more proficient at public speaking because this school requires frequent oral presentations. Also, there is no other school in the area that offers daily foreign language (Mandarin/Chinese or Spanish) from a native speaker. The school has culturally diverse students and teachers and places and emphasis on global thinking. Both are key elements for success in the future.

Although we thought the school itself showed a lot of potential and the founders of the school are great, we were disappointed by the teacher and had a much better experience elsewhere. We are very involved parents and tried to work with the teacher and school, they were not helpful.

All the teachers challenge the children and work indiviually with each child. There are a lot of extra-cirriculur activities including academic activities that they did not have before. This school is gradually getting better and better. I love the small class size.

My children have thrived at this school academically in the last 2 years. We love the teachers, the small class size and the daily foreign language class. My daughter has been immersed in Spanish; my son in Mandarin. We enjoy many extracurricular activities such as sports, yearbook committee and the science fair event. The parent community is very active and supportive of each other.
