A great experience for an English course! The teachers are very, very, very caring. My 4-year-old son spent his first week in English without any difficulty! Thank you!
We are very happy and satisfied to leave our 5 year old daughter every Wednesday of the year. She thoroughly enjoys all Daria's creative, artistic and cultural activities, Yulia's wonderful English lessons and outings in the forest with Marine. She comes home with superb plastic art creations, always linked to the time of year, and she learns an enormous amount, almost more than in traditional school, while having fun in a caring way. The team is fantastic, the premises beautiful, zen and welcoming, a real treat! A huge thank you and a warm congratulations to Irina and all her team, you can drop your children off with your eyes closed and your heart light in this Montessori atmosphere and learning.
The school is very good, very clean, lots of great activities for the kids. The staff is dynamic and always attentive to children's needs. My son wakes up earlier in the morning to go to this place, I highly recommend it with my eyes closed.
My son takes part in the vacation courses and every time he comes away full of energy and ideas. For example, the theater workshop in July was very enriching and fun for him. A great experience for an English course! The teachers are very, very, very caring. My 4-year-old son spent his first week in English without any difficulty! Thank you!
