Ridgeway School

I have three children at the school from PreK through 5th grade and I could not be more pleased with the quality of education they are receiving as well as the focus on character building and kindness infused throughout the school day. The schoolwork is appropriately rigorous and challenging and students are supported with any learning struggles they may experience. There are many engaging after-school and extracurricular offerings and the PTA has done a wonderful job of building up our community with fun events for the whole family. The principal and teachers are always available and readily communicate with parents. I would definitely recommend that anyone interested in IHM go for a tour and see for themselves if they think it would be a good fit for their child.

As a parent, 2 years at GISNY, I can’t say enough about the amazing, warm vibe of this place. The nature-based program for the little ones is just fantastic—my kid comes home buzzing about exploring the woods, digging in the garden, and all the hands-on fun that makes learning feel like an adventure. The teachers are absolute gems, so caring and full of energy, always sparking curiosity with their German-English lessons and making every kid feel special. And the international community? It’s like a big, welcoming family where multi-cultural kids bring such cool perspectives to the table, whether they’re chatting in class or playing together outside. GISNY’s cozy, global atmosphere is exactly what I hoped for.
