Hi, I can only concur with Fiona's view. I recently moved from England to Pau and I was looking forward to sending my daughter to the ISB, but my willingness stopped short after I talked with some of my colleagues. The headmistress is not that brilliant at all and her English education does not seem to that brilliant. The school itself is located within an industrial zone just close the motorway, and I would not like to stay there when it is sunny. The play grounds are poor and dusty, etc ... so I got very puzzled by the previous comments. As Fiona said the fees are very high and at that prices it would certainly better to have a private tutor (even the full time nursery in England did not cost me that much), and my impression is that the school relies on "desperate" parents who rightly are looking for the best education for their kids but there is no much choice (ISB has been created with a business mind not really an educational one). All the teachers are not certified. Basically I ended up sending my daughter to French school and she's just as happy. On that basis I would certainly NOT recommend that school.
