From students...

I have so much fun!  We play on the slides...and smile!  First grade is so happy.  I love my teacher! (first grader)
This class has such a diversity and energy.  I love them for their strangeness :)  (10th grade student)
There is a difference between changing the world and changing the world for Him...IES has taught me how to change the world for Him. (12th grade student)
Everyone in our class is encouraging when people feel down. (5th grader)

From parents...

Schools like IES are such a blessing to the Kingdom work.  My husband and I are new to the field...and already talking about returning home because our daughter was having a hard time adjusting to a new country.  But just one week into school and she's happy as a lark! (parent of a 1st grader)

I love the international feel of IES...students from all over the world interacting with each other!  My children have been forever changed by the friendships they've made and the things they've learned.  (parent of an 8th, 4th, and 3rd grader).
You know there is something amazing when your children complain about the weekend because they can't go to school! (parent of a 7th and 5th grader)

From staff...

I am so blessed to teach these amazing boys and girls.  I want to bless these kids and encourage them to "let your light shine before others that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven"  (M.B., Grade 4)
These are the NICEST group of kids I've ever taught!  They are trustworthy, kind and energetic.  They are a great group of kids who are interested in learning!  That's what I like about them. (J.P., Middle School Social Studies)
When I think of our students, a Walt Whitman quote comes to mind: "I am large, I contain multitudes."  These students are large, in the best sense.  No one will ever be able to put them in a box, to qualify them, to label them - they are too unique, to full of life, too wonderful.  They are a testament to the amazing artist our Creator is.  I look at them and smile, and in doing so, worship Him.
