Testimonials

Hear From Our Teachers & Staff

“The only thing better than a slice of hot pepperoni pizza on a warm afternoon at the zoo is UIA Early Years. It is a pleasure to see the students' smiling faces in the morning and to be part of their first steps in their education adventure. And with such an amazing ensemble of teachers, every day is a delight.”

Mr. Scott

Early Years 3 Homeroom Teacher

“UIA is wonderful environment to encourage student learning. There is an emphasis on looking out for the wellbeing of others both academically and emotionally. The enthusiasm and curiosity of the student towards their learning is very refreshing. There is a strong sense of community among the students and, as a teacher, it is great to be able to witness and foster.”

Mr. Redman

Grade 5 Homeroom Teacher

“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all; as Aristotle rightly said and we rightly follow at UIA. Whilst we do benchmark ourselves against the very best of other schools who follow the Cambridge curriculum, we celebrate the diversity of our community and cherish each individual. Seeing my students embrace their ingenuity and gain confidence in their abilities through right guidance brings me immense self-satisfaction.”
