The importance of religion in Irish schools

A visit to Kings Hospital school convinced me once again that Irish schools are not inferior to British ones either in terms of education and results, or in terms of school territory and infrastructure, or in the mood and feeling of joy from the work done by the students themselves.Kings Hospital is owned by the Church of Ireland.

The opinion of a student about Alexanders College.

As I wrote earlier, our students all love the short English programs at Alexanders College.Our constant student Vika shares her impressions of the program.

All schools were carefully selected for her English and further academic studies, but she always remembered Alexanders with regret, since in no…

A trip to Caxton College, Valencia

Polina's story about her experience at Caxton College impressed me so much that I decided to visit the school to feel the atmosphere myself. I made an appointment for Friday morning.

It is very sunny and windy.Today the wind is just stormy, the highway from Valencia to Pusol runs along the sea and I can hardly keep the car on the track. It takes 20 minutes to get from the center of Valencia, so many…
