Positive aspects of school
The school was wonderfully located in the centre of the tropical island of Boracay. The staff were super nice and always helpful. The food was varied and delicious. I can highly recommend this school. The lessons were always a lot of fun. I would attend this school again at any time.
City/place
The island of Boracay is a tropical dream island. White Beach is very touristy, but away from this beach you can easily find corners with much more tranquillity. The island has something for everyone.
Quality of teaching / language progress
The course was very good. The individual lessons in which the teachers were able to cater to the special needs of the students were particularly good.

Negative aspects
I don't understand the check in fee... For what... It's just their business.
I don't understand the costs for school stuff... I got some copies and a pen.
I don't understand why I needed to pay an additional fee to the bank for the bank transfer.
Its their business to deal with their bank about fees and conditions.
Additional costs...
US$ Registration fee
US$ Study Permit
US$ Material Costs

Teachers are listening to students.
The individual lessons are a plus in the teaching of English.
Accommodation
The bedroom is really too simple for Europeans because it does not have the basic comforts. There is no wardrobe to hang clothes and the bed was very small for an adult. The shared bathroom was too simple, from the 80s with a shower on the floor.
I don't advice to choose the homestay in Boracay because of the lack of comfort.

The school is on the top of the mountain, it is very quiet and suitable for studying. Teachers are professional and nice. You also will meet different students from around the world.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss
It is better not go during the rainy season (Aug to Nov), as it is always raining and sometimes there is no electricity and tap water.
Other comments
The food portions provided by the school at lunch and dinner were small, for every student and we often asked for seconds, though, many students said they still were hungry.

All of the school staff and teachers spoke to the students very friendly with a smile. The atmosphere was very comfortable.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss
The following information might be helpful, if I had known in advance.
- Laundry service is twice a week. The service was provided by an external company.
- Insect bite reviler is required. (There are many mosquitoes and ants)
- Wi-fi signal is weak. You can connect only in a common area, a kitchen. (Some students bought a sim card)
- It takes around 15 minutes to go to the beach from the residence. I recommend you to take a walk on the beach in the morning.
Other comments
In the group lessons, I could focus on the discussions. I could consult with a teacher and arrange the contents of private lessons, such as pronunciation, , reading aloud and grammars.

The teachers are wonderful. People are easy-going and friendly (probably) due to the character of Boracay.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss
I recommend dormitory. You may not be familiar with the style though, I suggest you to choose a room share option. You can have more opportunity to have a conversation.

You should not miss the beautiful beach. I recommend you to go there everyday after the school!

The quality of teachers is very high. In the mid of June, there were only twelve students in the school and three classmates (Italian, Spanish and Swiss) in my class.

In my opinion, the dormitory is the best accommodation option for young people. If you want to live in a hotel, you should book two or three days. If you don't like the room, you can find another hotel in Boracay.

A good combination to practice English and enjoy the sea and the sun.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss
If the students want to live near to the school, the dormitory is the best place, but if also they want to enjoy the island, i think that some resort is nearer than residence.

Studying English in paradise is the best way to enjoy and learn.
