The Island School Stories
We knew two families whose children had attended The Island School Semester. Their descriptions of the program with phrases such as ‘a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity’ and ‘life changing experience’ set a very high bar for our expectations. Our son attended during the fall and our daughter during the summer, and we found that The Island School not only met, but exceeded our expectations. A campus just steps from the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean might appear to be more vacation than work; however, we were impressed by the rigorous development of both mind and body.
