ISJ Parent, Trustpilot review, October 2026

We’d written ISJ off on the fee alone. I almost didn’t send the message.

ISJ Parent, via the Parents Committee
I assumed adjusted tuition was for someone else. It turned out it was for us.

ISJ Parent, via the Parents Committee
We looked at the number on the website and stopped reading. I wish we’d asked a year earlier.

ISJ Parent, via the Parents Committee
I thought we earned too much to ask and too little to afford it. Both wrong.

ISJ Parent, via the Parents Committee

It was a conversation, not an application. That was the part I hadn’t expected.

ISJ Parent, via the Parents Committee
Twenty minutes on the phone and we knew where we stood.

ISJ Parent, via the Parents Committee
Nobody asked us to prove hardship. They asked what we could manage.

ISJ Parent, via the Parents Committee
I’d braced myself for forms and awkwardness. It was neither.

ISJ Parent, via the Parents Committee

No one at the school treats us differently. I doubt anyone knows.

ISJ Parent, via the Parents Committee
My daughter has no idea, and that matters more to me than the money.

ISJ Parent, via the Parents Committee
It has never once come up since the day we agreed it.

ISJ Parent, via the Parents Committee
I was worried it would follow him around. It hasn’t.

ISJ Parent, via the Parents Committee

It didn’t make the fee disappear. It made it possible.

ISJ Parent, via the Parents Committee
We still pay a real amount. It’s just an amount we can actually plan around.

ISJ Parent, via the Parents Committee
The gap between what we could afford and what the school needed turned out to be bridgeable.

ISJ Parent, via the Parents Committee

The only mistake we made was waiting a year to ask.

ISJ Parent, via the Parents Committee
We moved him from a school that was cheaper and not right. This was worth the conversation.

ISJ Parent, via the Parents Committee
Two children here now. Neither would be without that first message.
