I liked the school position in town, the course was short due to work but still I learned more than what I thought I can in 7 days. Teachers were kind and polite always energetic and they don’t mind to explain once or more.

- Wael A.

Mi piace molto questa scuola! Il corso è buono: molto chiaro e ho imparato molto. Gli insegnanti sono gentile e molto buono ad insegnare. Mi piace anche le attività extrascolastiche. Sono stata a questa scuola 2 e 3 anni fa e anche quest’anno era di nuovo un’esperienza ottima! Mi è piaciuto l’appartamento molto e la zona era ottima!
