I attended FIS from 2009 until graduation in 2018.
It was the best experience ever and I am forever grateful that my parents decided to enroll me here when they had other options such as the ISF or a German local school. The most important thing for me was that I was able to make lifelong friends who I bonded with through the tough IB curriculum and the great atmosphere at FIS.

I feel that I should mention that the school atmosphere, students, and teachers were especially welcoming, supportive, and open-minded. The teachers in general were experts in their subjects and I felt that I got the full support I needed to pass the IB. The hiccups that I noticed were regarding TOK and CAS, for which your experience really varies on who you get as your supervisor.
Even after I graduated and entered uni, I felt that I was well prepared with the knowledge I had from IB and FIS. In fact, the first year of Uni was very easy as I could mostly live off of my IB knowledge. (I went to a B.Sc. program in one of the top 5 Unis in the Netherlands).

The facilities were also always new, in fact, I feel that during my time there, they seemed to have built something new every two years and I have a suspicion that's where most of the high tuition fee went to.
Upon entering university, I realized that this atmosphere and the classmates that I had at FIS must have really been the best of the best, as I was sadly disappointed by some of the experiences I had with people and teachers at my university. I mentioned my disappointment at a FIS alumni event and the organizers said that it is a common thing that they hear. I am now in my master's but I still cherish the experience I had and I still find myself going back to the notebooks from my IB years to check something.
