Positive aspects of school
The lessons are very intensive and are designed with excellent didactics. The school is not too big, therefore you quickly make contact with students from other classes.
Negative aspects
The school's handbook recommends eating healthy, but at school you can only buy sweets or crisps from vending machines.
City/place
Auckland is a wonderful city with many parks and green spaces. The friendliness and helpfulness of the people make the city particularly likeable. The geographical location by the sea with many beaches is very appealing.
Quality of teaching / language progress
I was the only participant, but with my consent, other students took part in the activities. These afternoon excursions were very interesting (museums) and also relaxing (visiting beaches and an island with wine tasting).
