Open Quote East West School of International Studies is an Excellent School to attend. My son graduated from East West class of 2012 in June. Before coming to EWIS he had the hardest time adjusting with Junior High School. He was lost in a system with teachers who had no time or patience to deal with students individual needs. There was also a lot of violence and gang activity going on within the JHS. It was like sending my son to war. My son became very quiet and distant, his grades where horrible, he never wanted to go to school. I truly believe he would have dropped out of High School if he did not go to East West. Once my son began going to EWIS he became a completely different person. It was like a metamorphosis. He was provided with a safe environment to grow academically with social and emotional support that he truly needed to become the young man that he is today. The teachers are amazing! The Principal is the best! The entire staff treated my son as if he was their own. My son is a confident young man with high self esteem, he is now attending College. The graduation rate for this school is 99.% that in itself is a miracle. I Highly recommend EWIS! Close Quote

Open Quote I cannot say enough about East-West. I highly recommend it for so many reasons, and quite frankly I feel that this is the absolute best place for my child to receive her high school education, ensuring that her college preparatory needs are being met. My lovely 15-year-old daughter is quiet and reserved, although brilliant in her own way and witty as can be. At home she shines as our star. Her school experience had not been anything like this until she arrived at your school. My beautiful daughter has made the Honor Roll three marking periods. She strives to do better and enjoys it. She has made the nicest bunch of friends from so many different cultures where no one shuts her out because we are not the same!! Friendships were made quickly here and school makes her happy! She never says, "I don't want to go to school today" anymore. This school has the most caring staff I have ever met, a principal who loves what he does, and students that are just as kind as my on child. I thank all of the staff, from the bottom of my heart, for helping my daughter shine. You are all wonderful at the many jobs that you do, and we are so much more fortunate to have you guiding our children! Close Quote
