"Good."

"Great, more material would have been too much."
Special note for 2025 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2025 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2024 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2025 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

The school is very well organised. There is also a very good programme of activities for every budget. The teachers are very committed and the lessons are interesting. I thought it was great that the lessons were held with two different teachers.

The classrooms were very small or the class was too big. But I think that the classes are usually not that big.

Student comments about Ardcairn House
Ayla
Accommodation: 2.0
Location: 5.0
Room: 5.0
"It is a well-organised student residence. When the light bulb flickered, the housemaster was there quickly and fixed it immediately. The rooms are very noisy, so parties (which take place very often) disturb your sleep at night and make it uncomfortable. The window had to remain closed because the street was very disturbing due to cars and noisy people (especially at night). I spent one weekend away from home because it was unbearable. Unfortunately. I think it's suitable for partying and lingering."
Corinne
Accommodation: 5.0
Location: 5.0
Room: 4.0
"I had a small room with a shower/bath. From my bed I could look directly into the sky, which I liked very much. The bathroom is very small, but it is sufficient. However, I would like to mention one point. At the bottom of the glass shower door there is a plastic rail that serves as a water trap, which looked really bad (probably mould). The rail can be removed quite easily and cleaned accordingly. I recommend everyone to do this."
