I chose this school because our children had already been living and were educated in Spain so had a number of foreign languages already. I wanted them to have the opportunity to be taught in small groups in English. The school follows the International Primary Curriculum and teachers are able to teach in a very creative and interactive way. It is in a villa on the edge of the forest so the children work and play outside a lot. It is a school which has a real family atmosphere, which is great for children who have experienced change. I am happy with my choice but there is no secondary option for the children. So eventually if we stay the children will go to French school with an integration programme. (LB)
