Our student Anastasia is studying the A-level program at Abbey DLD College in London for the second year.

Last week I visited IB Primary Day school in the heart of Madrid and I liked it so much that if I were in the situation of looking for a primary school for my child myself, I would seriously consider moving the family to Madrid so that the child would study in this school!

I try to attend the UK Secondary Schools Conference at least once a year precisely because the conference is followed up by agent visits to independent schools. I can choose which region I want to see schools in and go on a 3-day tour to the chosen region.This year, I chose to visit Midland School in North West Birmingham, which had some very good schools, but most of all I wanted to visit Bromesgrove School in person.Bromesgrove is a top ten UK IB school, offering such academic programmes in high school: GCSEs, after which you can take both A-levels and IBs.From the…

My visit to the boarding school SEK El Castillo in the north of Madrid took place in the fall of 2022, during my stay in Spain on the program to protect Ukrainians from war.

I`ve wanted to visit the Agora international schools in Spain, offering the IB program in different parts of the country, for a long time. In the approach of Christmas, Kiev became cold and sad and my choice fell on warm and sunny Valencia, where I could get a direct flight by Ryanair.

Winter in Valencia

Valencia is my favorite city in Spain. Here I started to learn Spanish and, like it was yesterday, I remember the narrow streets of the old city, where I, who had never liked running, were making my record runs 7-8 miles every night, trying quickly overcome the hot blocks…
