I've been in this school for approximately five years and have attended seven schools all-together. In terms of academics, upon the arrival of the IB curriculum, I feel it suits my learning style very well. Analysis and interpretation are very key components of the school's curriculum. The student body here is very diverse and very community oriented. The calendar year is packed with many extracurricular activities and events. The school also focuses on giving back to the community and organize big projects involving many schools and people that partake in the services.

  8. Robinson SchoolSan Juan, PR•Private School•PK, K-12•Rating 4.53 out of 5 34 reviewsSenior: My experience with Robinson has been absolutely life-changing. The first thing I immediately noticed about this school was how welcoming the students and administration as a new student. They had accepted indiscriminately and they were beyond kind and approachable. This is an essential factor for establishing secure and meaningful relationships with other people, which eases the nerves and allows you to associate yourself freely to the things that truly interest you. I felt more than comfrotable existing in school ground, and I've made some lifelong friends. What's more, Robinson is has a challenging academic curriculum. This has been the most significant component of Robinson's reputation. The courses are naturally challenging since it is an IB school that offers VHS courses, DP programs, and some AP classes. I've gone through remarkable growth as a scholar thanks to these classes. This school prepares you for not just the college experience, but for life and its many tribulations....

  11. Caribbean SchoolPonce, PR•Private School•PK, K-12•Rating 4.18 out of 5 11 reviewsMiddle School Student: Being in Caribbean school for about five years now has given me enough information to say what I think about it. Caribbean has shown excellent academics and actually help you understand the class. Math and science are actually fairly easy to understand because they have teachers that are willing to teach students and have them ready for college. Not just the academics but the school in general feels safe. There are guards present in the front and back gates watching for anyone who isn't permitted to enter the school. There was an incident where a intruder tried to climb the front gates but the guards put an instant stop to it. Just a few minutes and it was over in an instant. Now the cafeteria is one of the best parts of the school. The food is made fresh besides a few small things and consists of rice and beans with porkchops, ground beef, etc. Now there isn't much the school should change with but the clubs they end a bit quickly. But in general Caribbean is an excellent school....
