I love to take time at the end of the year to reflect. Rain Forest International School (RFIS) has completed one full school year at the new site. It’s been about a year and a half since moving. Looking at photos from the past year or more, I was amazed to see how much has changed around RFIS.

It’s great to see the difference a year can make. What is not as easy to photograph is the growth in the lives of our students and staff over the past year: cultural, social, emotional, educational, and spiritual.
