IJP has become a second HOME for my family. This is our 2nd year at IJP and I have seen tremendous growth in both of my children not only academically, but socially, emotionally and spiritually. IJP offers more than just a quality and well rounded education but also a sense of community. The teachers and staff are truly amazing and genuinely care about each and every student. I love that parents are given a safe space to offer helpful suggestions to improve the school and their children's experiences. I am forever grateful that we found IJP!

IJP has welcomed my son with open arms and truly has supported and encouraged him to be the best version of himself. He is being challenged academically, and it has shown in his overall growth at the end of the year. I couldn't be happier with positive relationships not only my child has created with his peers but with the support of my fellow parents as well. We have enjoyed our experience at IJP!

IJP has been a perfect fit for our child. The community and love from the school towards families and the students is a blessing. They genuinely care for the students, and you can tell love is the foundation of everything they do. Zizi has been going there for 2 years now, and she loves it. If you are considering IJP, please go ahead and enroll your child or children.

I am a proud alumnus and have now sent my daughter to IJP since preschool. The combination of high academic standards, extracurricular activities, and teachings of the Christian faith are well worth the price. IJP graduates students with a strong academic foundation and an unmatched moral compass. Make IJP your choice for your children!
