International Grammar School Sydney

The cantene food is great its homemade but tastes amazing, especially the ham,cheese and tomato sandwiches! The teachers are nice with a little bit of strictness wich is great to help your child learn! They will learn 2 languages there, the first language they have the option of Japanese, French, Mandarin, Italian and German. Your second language you have the option of Mandarin or Spanish. Your will learn your first language in primary school and continue that, and as you start year 7 you will start your second lanuage. Overall this school has great education amd has modern renovations!

Awful experience trying to enrol my son in the preschool. Paid $200 for him to be on the waitlist. Communication with the enrolment officer was extremely poor. I was finally told there was a place available and spoke to the women in charge of the preschool. After a lengthy discussion and confirming there was a place available we were never offered a position. So essentially they just take your money and pocket it with no interest in enrolling your child. Would not recommend at all and will now be sending my son to the local school next year who have been a pleasure to deal with. I have a very low opinion of IGS and their enrolment practices.

Amazing school with exceptional multi-language resources, strength in music and art. My daughter has been there 3 years since transition year. All the teachers she had so far are so very caring and deliver experience above and the beyond. We love the diversity there and the school international vision. They genuinely respect different culture and people from different backgrounds. Very grounded education approach, help kids to achieve overall development and independence. Most importantly, the kids are so happy to be there! They also provide kids variety clubs and activity options and everything is arranged within school and aftercare hours which is super convenient for parents. My daughter loves IGS very much, she made plenty of good friends, and I even made many new friends from the parents group. The community is very supportive. I don't think there is any perfect school for everyone, there are always problems and issues need to be resolve in every corner of the world. So as long as the educators work hard to push good things happen, continuously improve on the right direction, keep pace with the outside world, and kids are comfortable and happy, it is absolutely the right school for us.

Have no regrets withdrawing my daughter from this school and sent her to local public school instead. She is now in a selective school learning Shakespeare in Year 7 and enjoying her school life with new friends. Didn't miss a thing. Trust your kids, if they are talented, even local public school is right for them, 'cos you can enrich them by sending them to dancing, singing, coding and language classes and turn out to be well-educated kids.

a child approached me, hit the griddy and coughed vigorouslyvery good school

Don't waste your money and time here. The teaching standards fail to deliver what they promised. Students got bullied and no one cares. My kids studied here for 7 years and I regret sending her here. I sent my kid to local public school and she loves it so much and did so well in her NAPLAN. They only focus on music and language, not so much on the academic side. Some kids are so spoiled. It is good for my kid to study at the local public school and communicate with students from different cultural backgrounds (the real world). It helps to her to develop and grow. It is just unreal to put so many kids in a tiny indoor playground and expect them to enjoy school life. The school is overcrowded and it is difficult for students to walk in and out - looking at how tiny is the music department.There are better choices out there, even the teachers in the public school are better, more nurturing and caring. They truly cares about my daughter and they know all the families as they are part of the community, not just an account number.

The primary school here is amazing, almost best in the country and the primary teachers always take care of bullying, they try to make everything fun and that. But the reason I am giving it 2 stars is because of the high school. The highschool is bad with a capital B. The teachers do not care whatsoever in the highschool about wellbeing, kids vape in the toilets a lot, there is graffiti in the boys toilet, and theres not many opportunities here once you get to highschool. The teachers just act like they hate there jobs and the kids are just rude. I would recommend sending your kid here for primary and preschool, but NOT highschool. Also cheese is bad.

It's a good school, just some teachers need to learn to be more respectful to their students in the highschool. Primary school is great, the language camps are a blast, in fact, all the camps are amazing. The reason why I gave it 3.5 stars is that they don't have any extra curricular activities or additional help and it's not that easy to see the councillor. Overall the primary school is amazing, but once you get to highschool it gets not as good as primary. The canteen food is sooooooo good though!!!!!

Applied for a teaching position here. And found out through a third party that they had approached a friend of theirs for a reference about me from them. The party that was approached was an ex staff member who left IGS under not the best circumstances. Absolutely unprofessional and so glad that I have withdrawn. Very concerning when staff of a school go through the back door to get information. Smacks of unprofessionalism. An ex parent who removed their 2 children from this school confirmed they found the school's processes unprofessional.Make your own mind up if you apply for a job here.
