What Our Alumni Say

In a word, LISG is transformative. The nine years that I spent there were filled with laughter and love every single day and left me with lifelong friends, incredible knowledge, and skills that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. I am eternally grateful for my years there and the person it helped me become.

LISG really helped me grow into my own and helped field my curiosity, field my intellectual pursuits, and put my love back into learning. These are some of the smartest kids around and these kids are the future, so giving them the opportunity now can make a world of difference.”

Jolie Bercow

“LISG has brought with it for me not only flourishing in education, but also in my relationships with other students. Everyone got to know each other really well due in part to the small class sizes. Every student at LISG is able to succeed with teachers who thrive on academic
excellence and allow you to flourish in the best way possible.”
