Brentfield Is a magical place. My son began there in the middle of fourth grade when we transferred…read moreto Dallas with AT&T from San Antonio. It was a huge change for all of us but especially for him. I don't care about Commended This and Blue Ribbon That, I care about my son living a fulfilling life. Brentfield is the only school where someone knew more about autism than I do. Principal Steve Lemons is a diplomat. He supports his teachers tremendously but he also acknowledges their flaws. He knows the name of every child, he greets them, he is no stranger to the cafeteria. He was born to be an elementary school principal. Absolutely.

Our family loves this school! We have 2 children at Brentfield, and we have had a great…read moreexperience. Every year we feel like we hit the teacher jackpot. They are great educators, and they go above and beyond with individual needs of the kids. We moved specifically to this area for the school and has exceeded our expectations. My kids love going to school every day and they are learning so much. Another great aspect to the school is the community between parents, teachers and staff. Our family feels extremely connected to the Brentfield community.

But when we moved across the country and needed to find a new school i decided to give Dallas International School a try and i'm glad i did! They provide elective classes after school and their sports program is amazing!! My daughter is now challenged in the best way possible and i love seeing her work hard at school!

We moved our pre-school aged daughter to DIS from a Montessori school because of the opportunity to…read morelearn another language at such a young age. The difference in the schools is dramatic. DIS is caring and also provides structure and curriculum that has our daughter coming home speaking french, and singing french songs. The teachers communicate well by sending daily updates, weekly pictures, and by providing the curriculum so we can reinforce what she has learned at home. Everyone at DIS cares about our daughter; from her teachers and the teachers assistants that are with her everyday, to the receptionist that greets her daily - "Bonjour!" We love DIS, the community feel, and are so grateful for the opportunities it will provide our daughter.

I came to the school as a guest speaker, I am an author, and I was very impressed with the people I…read moremet. Everyone was genuinely nice and caring. The school is clean, with a hint of fun flair on the walls. And the art exhibit I was shown was amazing. The principal came out of her meeting to personally welcome me, and the kids I spoke to about writing were so curious and delightful. This was a wonderful experience for me, and I hope I have the chance to come back for another author visit.

Everything you need to know about the school: the school has ongoing difficulties hiring qualified…read moreteachers, which is a critical concern. The math teacher and the IB coordinator resigned last March, and as of December, no permanent replacements have been appointed. The teacher currently covering these responsibilities reportedly has no prior IB experience. Assigning teachers without confirmed IB background to senior-level classes raises serious concerns about the quality and continuity of instruction. The chemistry teacher taught online for half a year because the school was unable to secure a visa. Another teacher was hired in the middle of the year; however, the school has not provided any information regarding her IB experience or certification. This lack of transparency makes it difficult for parents to assess whether IB standards are being met. The school's salary and benefits package appears to be uncompetitive within the local market, which may explain the hiring challenges. At the same time, the school continues to allocate funds to cosmetic updates such as repainting facilities and redesigning the website through third-party contractors. This raises reasonable questions about budget priorities. Overall, student academic outcomes do not appear to be the school's primary focus. Additionally, it is publicly known that the director's wife works in UX design; beyond this, the rationale for the recent urgency to redesign the school's website remains unclear.

Imagine, just for a second, that you live in a different world…read more In this world, when you are traveling in France or Canadá, your child can have a conversation with adults or other kids in French with such a pure Parisian accent that no local would ever suspect that he/she did not grew up in France. Imagine a world where in highschool the honors class is the entire highschool, 9th graders present the College Board "AP French" exam and every single 9th grader gets a solid 5 (max AP grade). Imagine a place where AP courses and IB (International Baccalaureate) or FB (French Baccalaureate) diplomas are not mutually exclusive and, 1370 SAT and 30 ACT scores are the average. Sounds like a familiar place? If it does not then you should consider DIS for your kids.

One time I said that I hated myself in front of everyone, Most of the just stared at me, some were laughing at me, One was roasting me really hard, the teacher didn't care and didn't help me until 2 weeks later. Every time I tried to say something, the teachers silenced me, I do NOT recommend this school AT ALL. 0 stars.

Seriously, this place prepares you in ways you don't recognize until years later, and then you're all the more appreciative when you're old enough and mature enough to appreciate such things. And as Scott said, I've made some great lifetime friends at the school, no doubt the contacts come in handy for a variety of things... One thing that this place didn't prepare me for was proper interaction with females. I was so socially awkward around girls until I learned in college how booze helps. Oh wait, I'm still socially awkward around girls. Thank you, all boys school!
