One of the most successful IB schools in Canada.

Glenlyon Norfolk School is one of the most interesting private schools that I met at the Alphe Secondary Focus conference on secondary education in Frankfurt in October 2015. The school is located on Victoria Island, British Columbia, Canada. Interestingly, other British Columbia high school representatives who attended this conference spoke of Glenlyon Norfolk with great reverence, mentioning that of course, Glenlyon Norfolk is an Ivy League-level school (of course, by this they meant that graduates of the school are applying for…

The hotel was…

How to study in an American school in Paris

Not many French schools know how to work with international students. Moreover, it is difficult to find a school where teaching is also handled in English.Therefore, a visit to Notre-Dame International High School, an American school located half an hour from the center of Paris, has long been on my list of trips.

Visiting Notre-Dame International

The most convenient way to get from the center of Paris to school is by regional train. It takes 35 minutes from Gare St Lazare to Vernouillet Verneuil, where the school…

Much to my delight, both of my…
