We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Excellent school, super director, deputy director, teachers and all school staff. The school is large, clean, this is important for me, they observe discipline, they know how to find an approach to each student, my 2 sons go to this school, I hope soon the youngest will be a student of this school.
