As parents, we could not be more thrilled with our SIES experience. The teachers are incredibly dedicated and genuinely care about each student's growth and well-being. The school community is welcoming and supportive, making us feel like part of a village.

We are continually impressed by the emphasis on both academic excellence and character development. SIES allows children to learn by the sea, providing unique/one-of-a-kind opportunities for education and overall development.

I love SIES! My teachers are nice, and I get to see my friends. I really like going to the beach for recess and learning about the ocean in Coastal Science class. The experiments are exciting! My teachers help me learn and have fun at the same time. Soar On, Skimmers!
