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.

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.
