The school is excellent. The teachers focus a lot on the children's learning and although some relatives consider the main one a bit strong, in my own opinion I consider that to deal with such responsibility and a huge number of people, one cannot be weak.

The children are not taken care of properly, in the sense that they are not given the material to intellectually grow. When they leave the school, they are weaker in some subjects, compared to their new peers.
