Quality of teaching / language progress: The school is small and well located. There are no organized activities (I was not informed of any! so it could be my bad), and the facilities are basic. Table, desk, books. Teachers are absolutely perfect. Competent, smart, intelligent, passionate and patient.
Other comments I warmly recommend it.
