My children have attended the Japanese/English program at Springbridge since Preschool, they are now Kindergartners.nnSpringbridge has a dynamic approach toward learning. This is fun and naturally fuels enthusiasm toward learning. A model Springbridge uses for introducing and instilling a core set of values and disciplines is to have students work with the grade level ahead of them. You can imagine the ease in transitioning to the next level this affords the students. Entering the next grade, they carry on the work already made familiar. This guidance has a sort of organic progression as the students know and look forward to showing the same care to their younger school mates.nnWe find the curriculum well-rounded and homework super helpful. Our children look forward to doing their homework. Yes, to get it out of the way but I love seeing them take initiative. Outside the regular courses,nnSpringbridge offers after-school classes. Our children are now learning Mandarin, chess, piano, judo and even hula. They love it. It gives them exposure to other cultures and they interact with their friends through different mediums. Very healthy.

Stay away from this school.nnThis school knows absolutely nothing about Early Childhood Development — weak on resume, and completely lacking in practice.nAny good program would have multiple variables at play to ensure the success of every kid. This school has one at most, sometimes zero, at play at any given time.nThere is only once social construct exercised at this school: obedience. It is so engrained, beneath this obedience is only one of two things: shallowness (the staff are stuck in their ways and incapable of listening/discussing and offering even a modicum of professional wisdom), else something far worse that I never in all of my life expected out of a preschool: pure malevolence.nnIf that isn't enough: this school has no board of directors. There is not a single worthwhile school that doesn’t have a board, whose primary motivation is one thing only: the kids.They guarantee this through, just like any good board, due process.Without this board, there is no accountability, and that, above all else, should scare you to death.nnStay away.

2 reviewsnn5.0 star ratingn1/19/16nnSpringbridge International School is awesome!nnOur 4 year old daughter has been in the Springbridge preschool program for over 1 year and will be continuing with Pre-K, Kindergarden, 1st, etc. The teachers are all amazing, and the program is so rich with various experiences and activities for the children. The kids learn so much about life, education, friendships, values, and we are very thankful to all the effort put in by all the faculty. The school is very personal and family oriented.nnMy daughter absolutely loves going to school everyday.
