"The Cambridge qualifications are very flexible and give the students a lot of opportunities for study abroad. A fairly traditional school w.r.t. uniforms (blazers and straw boaters)and manners etc. Academic standards are quite high and they expect a lot from the kids.(not a bad thing) A super atmosphere around the school, the kids are happy," said one parent with children at CHARTER COLLEGE INTERNATIONAL in Johannesburg.
