what our students say about us

All of the teachers and staff are really kind and friendly. They always try to help students a lot. Each class has less than 10 students. You will be able to be close to your teacher and classmates. This situation helps your English ability better. And there are many kinds of school activities like beach activities, hiking, sports events and other trips. If you don‘t have any friends from the beginning, you don‘t need to worry about it. You can make many new friends easily through school activities. I‘m sure you will have good quality classes and precious experiences with new friends coming all over the world!

I really like the teachers and all their different personalities. They have an amazing ability of making

class interesting and taking care of each and every student‘s needs. The location of the school is amazing.

It‘s close to everything. The nightlife at the bars, the beach and the ocean, lots of surfing, and the sun is shining almost everyday. The staff at the school are

also very nice, friendly. and always welcoming if you come to them with any questions. I love it here.
