Overall, I had a very positive experience with Fort Couch. I found the educational experience to be very high-quality, with classes containing content that is very useful and intellectually stimulating, particularly in the social studies and English curriculum. The thinking skills I learned at Fort Couch have benefited me greatly in life. The teachers are also mostly very good. Some of them were the best teachers I have ever had, and are given freedom to use various creative teaching techniques that work very well. Also, the school provides a variety of great extracurriculars that provide something for students of all interests. There was also a good social atmosphere in my opinion but that is very subjective.

Worked with this school in multiple capacities, some of which are related to students giving back to the community. Through the guidance of administration and principals, students are empowered to lead events and work together to find solutions to problems in our community. They raise funds for charities of their choice and volunteer among other projects. Their education goes beyond the classroom to their extra circulars and work within the community. Teachers that we have worked with are exceptional. Total commitment to their students.

I am very happy with the school. IB Program is the best...EXCELENT RESULTS. Parents are involved. If you see a bully, it is because in their home are bulling them...so education start at home.

I attended Fort Couch some years back. The school offers a poor educational experience. The classes are to large and disorganized. The curriculum was unfocused and did not concentrate on the fundamentals. The teacher were of poor quality, and seemed lazy and overwhelmed at times. There seemed to be a lack of accountability and no leadership from the administration. There was also allot of bullying and the teachers took no steps to intervene and in some cases precipitated the behavior. You would think that with this school being in a more affluent area that parents would get more involved and demand changes. There seemed to more of a culture of not wanting to "rock the boat".
