“The teachers are very friendly and helpful, and you can always ask for support.
Students come from different age groups, but everyone is kind, and the overall atmosphere at the school is really pleasant. You can even get individual advice for exam preparation.
Classes are small, and during breaks you can enjoy chatting with classmates and teachers.
There are plenty of after-school activities, and both the classrooms and restrooms are clean.
You can also borrow various reference books to study at home.”

“Focus on teaching quality, strict management, located in the city centre, easy to visit and play, many extracurricular activities, and good value for money.”
“It's a little big. It would be better if the classes were divided into smaller groups.”
School's reply: Thank you for your positive comments Yi. I think your negative comment about size may be a misunderstanding - we are a very small school, one of the smallest, and our classes never have more than 10 students, and usually fewer.
