International Studies Elementary Charter School
ISECS failed to meet my expectations as a parent. They are overly crictical and hard on students and dont allow play time or activity to allow them to burn off energy.
ISECS claims that your child will be fluent in several languages by the time they leave 5th grade however there isnt significant time allowed to learn the languages.
I do not recommend this school.
