N/A - we chose the school becasue of the promise of an international program. This did not happen.

None - to be avoided anyway. The school has a number of subsidised students whose parents don't attend anything. The other parents complain all the time unil they leave.

Go elsewhere. They will promise you anything to get your check, but then "forget". Don't sign up for automatic payment - they adjust your bill so you pay more than you agreed.
