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.

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.

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.
