This school will not look outside of any box. They way they teach and manage is THE way and nothing else is possible. If you want your kid to get attention and if you want teachers to be interested in you kid and his learningproces dont send him or her to this school.
The school and his teacher are pessimistic and stubborn.
2 10/10/2025
I have been bullied for the past 2 years and nobody has done anything about it. Please don't send your child to this school. Many of my friends have moved schools because of bullying. If you want your child to succeed this school is not in the best interest for him/her.
