Reviews about schools

From time to time I receive requests for a private school in California with good academic results. Interest in this state on the US West coast caused by several factors. First, Los Angeles is attracting because of Hollywood, which, in parents mind, gives great opportunities for talented children. Second, the climate: staying and studying in California is comfortable year-round. Based on this, I was looking for schools in Los Angeles. I met a representative of one of the best private schools in California, which is located in Los Angels, at a conference in Frankfurt.Read my interview with…

From my experience of working with schools in the USA I know that American schools rarely accept students from our region under the age of 15. At the conference in Berlin I met a representative of a private school in Maine, which accepts students from the age of 13 and offers 24 Advanced Placement courses. The only thing that confused me was the size of the school. Knowing how parents feel about schools with over 1000 students I asked how they can provide safity at school and guaranty personalized approach to each student from teachers and schol staff. The…

Millfield School  is the biggest co-educational boarding school in UK. You will not find this school on the top of ranking pages. At the same time  it's so popular that you would need to apply to the school for the year ahead. That's despite the fact that high school  alone has more than 1,200 students. During the ICEF conference in Berlin the representative of Millfield School explained me the lackluster performance in the ratings and why the school is so popular among British and international students.

A real find for me was meeting with representatives of the National Mathematics and Science College, British school which prepares students for admission to programmes in STEM  field of best universities in the world. The concept of STEM education includes 4 key academic disciplines: science, technology, engineering, mathematics. STEM education is actively developing in the West becoming one of the most promising training program at universities, that is why the collaboration with the school of such a level I consider being very promising.

French school Ecole des Roches was founded more than 100 years and it is considered to be one of the best schools in France.  It was always prestigious and fashionable to study at the  school. Even now among the students children of famous politicians, businessmen and diplomats. Several of my students went to school where they studied French language and French Baccalaureat  to enter French universities. Before recently Ecole des Roches  offered only programs in French but now it is possible to study here in English.In my interview with a…

I was lucky to find another school in Spain with International Baccalaurate program. Every year more and more families turns to my Agency in to require about schools with program in English in Spain. Not surprising, since schools in Span are much cheaper then in Britain and most of international schools in Europe and children feel very comfortable to study there. In addition, many families often spend holidays in Spain and familiar with this country finding it safe for their children to study there. I fully support parents in choosing a secondary schools in Spain…

At the conference in Berlin I met a representative of the international boarding school in Germany – Berlin Brandenburg International School. For several years, we have partnered with this school and I know how difficult admission to the school was for our students at BBIS. The school is very popular among the Russian-speaking countries. Now, as admitted a representative of the school, they are interested in attracting students from Ukraine again, as a percentage of Russian-speaking students has decreased significantly.What caused the popularity of the Berlin Brandenburg…

Among all British schools at secondary education workshop  ALPHE I chose to meet Mill Hill due to a few reasons:first, the school is located in North London in so-called Mill Hill Village which allows students to live and learn in the British capital;second, foreign students can get into independent British school Mill Hill where there are only 5% of international students;third, in 2015 Mill Hill opened international college with carefully selected teachers and small classes that allows children to adapt  quickly to…

At the annual conference for secondary education ALPHE Frankfurt, I met with representatives of some schools I was interested in Europe and North America. One of them is the American private school Storm King School.The school is located in the suburbs of new York, which I consider as a significant advantage for teenagers who go to study in the United States. In addition, the school holds a high position in the rankings. During our conversation, the representative of the school explained me the reason for the high academic achievement of its students and also explained…

I maintain contacts with all students whom we helped to enter schools abroad. Not so long ago, back home on holidays my student Nastya.
