it is a small school so you have the opportunities to make great friendships. How good the classes depend on the teacher but a good education is guaranteed. The school is not very diverse but you will still have a great experience.

The school is a place where students are encourage to try new experiences rather it be singing or playing sports. It challenges you to learn small hidden talents or interests.

FA's small class sizes and engaged teachers ensure that the "no back rows" mantra is more than just a...
