This is an amazing school! I give it 5 stars! I am a student, and I know cause I have been going to IMAP since I was 2! They make the classrooms homey. The teachers are very nice, but not too nice. They have hot lunch, and a healthy but yummy snack every morning. You get the freedom to go to any lesson you choose, and you don't need to go to every one. So ya. I hope you or your kid have a fun time at IMAP!
