Study in a private British school Roedean

I went to schools in the South of Sussex after the next conference on secondary education in Britain BBSW in March. The boarding school for girls Roedean is one of the most difficult for cooperation.

Therefore, Sarah could talk about the school from the side of students´ parents.S: When my older children were in high school, I realized that they all need a…

Ashford-school-music. When in September of each year all 7th grade students begin to learn a new musical instrument for them, it seems absolutely incredible that at the final concert of the year anyone will be able to enjoy this shrill, uncertain creak and clatter. But on June 6, 2015, the whole audience enthusiastically watched the transformation of the 7th grade graduates, listened to the well-coordinated work of the school orchestra and numerous solo performances.The main principle of Ashford school is to take students out of their comfort…
