A good place for rich Americans only. You might get anemic from sage dining. Having to share a shower with no locks with disgusting ignorant people was too much.

If you have a parent advising the council you can get away with anything.

I feel we made the right decision in choosing Williston for my son's high school education. He really likes Williston, from the location to the academics and sports activities. Even though my son is a long way from home and in a different country, I feel reassured about his safety when he is at school. Personally, I also like the environment, buildings and facilities of Williston. It is a good place for children who like sports.
