My two kids love it, it is like a big family house, where parents can take part in some action and decision. If you want a big school with lots of extra curriculum activities in sport and or social activities for parents then you rather go to other school. If you want to be in close to the children type of school, bilingual with small classes and great staff, then come, you will love this house, school, family !
