TESTIMONIAL
"This is the perfect school for a first language study abroad experience! We took six elementary school students to spring camp, and we had wonderful experience there. First of all, all the staff members are lovely people. The host families were also incredibly kind it was just perfect for young children. When one of our students became homesick, everyone was so supportive and caring, and I was really glad we chose this school. The location is also excellent. For people coming from overseas, having access to good public transportation was very important, and here it was perfect. There’s even a large shopping center with a DAISO just a five-minute walk away, which was very convenient. We ran there to get umbrellas one day!During the spring camp, English lessons are held until early afternoon, and students are divided into levels based on a placement test on the first day, so there’s no risk of the classes being “boring” or “too easy,” which I really appreciated. In fact, when one of our students felt their class was too easy and spoke directly to the principal, they quickly adjusted the class level-even though the student was only there for a week. I am truly grateful for such flexibility. The after-school activities were also amazing, packed with opportunities to fully experience the Gold Coast.
I highly recommend this school for anyone looking for a rewarding and supportive language study experience abroad."
