Student opinions about The Codrington Language Centre, Christ Church

Liked
Sylvia and Celia are very good teachers and very responsible for the student's learning. The educational level and facilities are optimal. I recommend the School.
Disliked
I did not have a good time in the house that I was assigned. I was even mistreated by the owner of Casa Maria. Never felt comfortable since it has so many rules of coexistence that are impossible to memorize, besides she goes into the rooms that she rents for inspection. She is an authoritarian woman who likes to mistreat people. I think the school, which is very good, should look for another house for a homestay.
