The State of Michigan ranked IAS twice as good as ALL other charter schools in Saginaw County on the 2013 Top to Bottom list. Close Quote

My children have been attending IAS since they opened. I absolutely love their curriculum and the dedicated staff. It's so hard to put into words for someone who hasn't been involved with the school. It's not just about the books..they are molding our children into young men and women with respect, goals, honor, drive, etc. It's amazing how it all works..students are able to express themselves for who they are, parents are made to feel as if they are part of the staff and the whole growing (academically and other)experience..encouragement works on parents as well as students. In the meantime, IAS is molding all like clay.. We are made to feel like one big family raising all of the children. The staff is very dedicated, our new principal Mr. Matheson has been a blessing! We had a very tough year last year (2010-2011), this year..night and day! Words cannot express my/our appreciation for what he has done for and with our school. He is very knowledgeable about so many benefits for our school and students; personally involved with all; such an inspiration..like I said can not really put into words. IAS and the Sabis curriculum are, in my book as well as the majority of the parents, the best there is for our children. It's an experience! One that I am very grateful to be a part of. Thank You Close Quote
