What people are saying

by a student
Tuesday, May 24, 2016

I used to go to school here. I moved to america about a week before I started kindergarten, 2 weeks late into the school year, I was already falling behind. On my first day remember my teacher helping me adjust to school in America. Fast forward 5 years, I was graduating from my home and moving on to higher levels of education. As the bilingual kid that didn't know much, over the years I had many teachers in this school that pushed me to become better and better. Being was in the Globe Class for all 5 years meant i had an advantage in the academic field but sooner or later in the school year the other classes start to catch up to us. This school realises that everyone learns at different paces and would do their best to help the students with the curriculum. I graduated a few years ago with many wonderful memories and friends that i still miss. This school did a wonderful job on me and many others just like me. P.S.105 is not just a school but an experience. Close Quote
