With the end of my A-Levels this year, I wouldn’t have chosen any better institution than IWS. The immense support throughout my studies contributed to my academic performance and my wellbeing.
Beyond the grades, Academy students lead their own review. By Years 12 to 13 they run the whole review and present their own evidence, and the adult takes notes, challenges them and signs it off.
