International School of Tucson

This school is terrible.  My step son went there for two years (K and 1st).  During the summer after his 1st grade year I had his reading tested by a specialist and he was reading below primer (pre-school) level.  He only had about 10 sign words and next to no phonics skills. They tried to insuate that he had a learning disability. After much contention we were able to get him out of the school and into Desert Springs Academy, where he is working with an after school tutor.  He is now reading chapter books!  He no doubt does not have a learning disability, he simply was not taught how to read English.  Do not send your child to this school!

This is the best school in Tucson!  We sent our child here for preschool and we are so happy to have him attending again this year!  The teachers are so nuturing and caring!  The director is very understanding and involved in every student's education!  The bilingual education is superb!  Our child learned so much by the end of his first year in preschool and he had fun doing it!  The exhibitions were my favorite though because we were able to see what they were doing the past unit with displayed artwork and singing. This is a school worth sending your child to.
