Alice, Kl. 8, My School – IGS

The IGS has been a really great school for me and I really enjoyed studying there for many years. But then I got bored: I wanted to try something new – a bigger school. So I switched to another school, but after a while there I wanted to go back to IGS because I realized that IGS was a better fit for me. The IGS makes me think about everything. The teachers give assignments that exercise my brain. They are thought-provoking and interesting.
I am also just a student and need guidance on many things. The teachers at the IGS make me feel like I can always go up to them and ask things. They often have a sense of humor and make a lot of fun in the classroom, but they also know when it’s serious and what’s fun. The teachers make it very clear. It’s easy to ask when I don’t understand something or what I want to know more about.
The teachers always have a keen interest in what they are teaching and are always willing to guide me on the subject. They always try to encourage me to do my best. And not just with words of encouragement;  they actually shape the lesson plans around the students to maximize their potential. It gives me the feeling that they put a lot of effort into what they teach.
Here at the IGS there is a lot of freedom. It is not limited to a specific topic. From a student point of view, there are many possibilities and options to choose from. There is already a structure for the school year, I think but it is very flexible. The freedom of what to learn and the freedom to learn is the best thing about the IGS, I think.
