“Very good teachers who cared about every student. The placement by level was very good. Everyone was very caring about the students' well-being. It was easy to get in touch with other students from all over the world and the students were motivated and interested in other cultures.”
“The afternoon programme could have been more varied. However, I was only there for 2 weeks.”
Insider tip: “It is important to read the host parents' information critically and also to check the place of residence. It shouldn't take more than 30 minutes to get to school/downtown by public transport, otherwise you won't do anything after school. Many students who stayed longer changed host parents, as they told us. If you are open-minded, you can quickly establish contacts with students from all over the world.”

"The host parents showed us and offered us a lot of Boston during the 2 weeks. We went to several concerts, a polo match, etc. The host father took great care of us. The host mother prepared dinner for us almost every evening, although it was far too hot outside for her (often around 40 degrees C). We felt very welcome.
