guestWe are expats and are former parents of this school. We were so excited to have our daughter in this school but it turned sour this year. The school is not professionally run by it's head of school. The teachers who actually teach the children - or guide them-are lovely and working hard to ensure that while the children are there they are treated well and able to learn. At the end of the day, with a school this small, connections with the parents are huge and how the child is treated by the head of school is important. We were treated disrespectfully and unreasonably as parents but most importantly how the head of school showed little regard for our daughter's well being was really shocking. It just showed how really unexperienced the lady who started the school is in education management, especially her comprehension of how her extreme personally driven decisions impact the child. She's very very extreme in her dealings. Not a good match for a school with young impressionable children. Sad, because we love the Montessori method.
