Hi, I would just share our experience with IBS, may be it could be helpful for other parents. We have two kids in IBS. They started at IBS several years ago. The period of adaptation was very smooth for both of them, the administration and teachers were nice. My children found good friends ("Mom, it is so easy to find friends at IBS!", they said). The school has good facilities for sports (tennis, football, basketball…), and organises regular outings and after-school clubs. Academically, they are quite demanding, but that's what we were looking for.

I would like to share my impressions of the IBS school. Having moved to the south of France a few years ago, we first sent our children to a public school. The youngest was especially uncomfortable. Both were transferred to IBS - the junior to primary school, the senior to middle school. Children are happy: friendly atmosphere (students, teachers), excellent school infrastructure (sports grounds, tennis courts), interesting lessons and a variety of activities, friends from all over the world ... Lessons are held in both English and French. There is Russian. In general, we recommend IBS with the whole family!
