When Abigail Bay, a Southville BS IT alumna, enrolled her son at five years old in Senior Kinder, she knew she was continuing a legacy of education she deeply trusted. Now already in Grade 3, her son is thriving in the same environment that once shaped her own academic journey. For Abigail, Southville International School was the clear choice, offering the strong academic foundation and supportive environment she wanted for her child.

She recalls that when choosing a school, her priorities were international standards, qualified teachers, and a principle of No Student Left Behind. Southville met all of these, ensuring that every child receives the guidance they need to succeed. What sets Southville apart for her is its commitment to exceeding U.S. academic standards through IXL, a program that strengthens skills and supports personalized learning.

Beyond academics, Abigail values Southville’s wide range of non-academic activities that make education holistic and enjoyable. Her son has joined the basketball varsity, chess club, and movie club, discovering new interests while building confidence, teamwork, and discipline. She believes these experiences, combined with Southville’s strong academic programs, prepare children with adaptability and global perspectives—skills that will serve them well in life and future careers.

Looking ahead, Abigail is confident that Southville will continue to nurture her son’s growth, just as it did for her. If asked to recommend the school, she would proudly say that Southville offers not only academic excellence but also a supportive environment where students thrive both personally and academically. For her, Southville is more than a school—it is a trusted partner in shaping futures and building leaders for the world.
