Great College, with great teachers, especially Mrs Nora, who is probably the best teacher I have ever seen. Great place for international students. Groups in courses are small which is great because teachers can spend much more time with every student.

The price is fixed
The price is fixed in the currency of the country of study. For example, Great Britain - pounds sterling, Ireland - euro.
Payment is made in rubles at the exchange rate on the day of payment.
After full payment has been made, the price does not change regardless of the exchange rate
If you make a prepayment first, then the payment will be calculated at the exchange rate on the day of payment.
How is the transfer to school arranged?
1. Parents check in their child for the flight. Airlines usually allow independent flights from the age of 12. You can order an escort service for a minor (100-150 euros) so that an airport employee accompanies the child at the airport.
2. If you book a transfer, the child will be met at the airport by a school representative with a sign with the student's name.
