A very good school. We like the IB program & the teachers. We are an expat family so it was very important to attend a school that has a nice mix of nationalities and cultures, Twain is very cosmopolitan. Teacher to pupil ratio is definitely not 17 to 1, more like 23 to 1. My son's classes have had about 25 kids on average. It's a very popular school for expats. We're sad to be leaving it.
