I have been in QISS since kindergarten, and I have met a lot of friends. QISS has a great teaching environment, teachers are nice and good. The school lunch is very delicious, we have various kinds of dishes in our cafeteria, and it costs cheap. We have everything that we need in our school, a tennis court, basketball court, volleyball court, and a huge soccer field.

With smaller class sizes, a wonderful learning environment, and teachers who care, I feel comfortable and at ease learning in the community of QISS. It's an inspiring school that sparks "Leader in Me" for students at all times of the day, a wonderful place where everyone can enjoy the creative project-based learning environment, and a lovely home with engaging, lively, and energetic faculty and peers. It is definitely worth 5 stars as an excellent international school.

I've been at QISS for 8 years, and the school spirit had a great impact on my life outside the campus. To me QISS isn't just a school, it's more of an inclusive community where we could leave all our troubles behind.
