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 answers convinced me that boarding…

Millfield School is the biggest co-educational boarding school in UK. You will not find this school on the top of ranking pages.

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.
