“We wanted to take full advantage of living in a multicultural environment. We had the chance to go to one of the school’s open houses in October 2017 and were impressed by the facilities, campus, curriculum, teachers, principal and IFS’s huge network with other schools worldwide. So, we decided to enrol Indigo and we haven’t looked back.”
