"Really great teachers and a good atmosphere at school in Eglinton / Toronto."

Teppo Tapani, student from Finland

The teachers Joe and Andrew were my favorites. They knew how to handle an adult as a student very well. All facilities at school were top class.
There could have been some joint activity during free time (theatre, soccer match etc.)

it was great to meet people from many different countries.

"I felt like a teenager again."

Maria Graziela Alvarenga dos Santos, student from Brazil

I liked so much this school. The 30+ Programm is excellent, because I had only adults on my classes. The school is very close to a subway station from line 1, it was very good for me, because I was in a downtown hostel (line 1 too). The schedule was perfect, some days I had classes in the morning, other days in the afternoon. I appreciate this so much, because I could make a lot of activies after school with my new friends and some days, we didn`t have to wake up early... The teachers were ok, only one class that I found not too good, because the contents weren`t deep and I think that it isn`t worth. I think the school could have more machines to buy some snacks between the classes, because sometimes I hadn`t time do use the washroom (long line) and the the lift to go to the cafeterie, but the cafeterie is ok. The school activities I did only two, I had my plains, but I loved. In the first day, I met and talk with different people, they are my friends now, and we did a lot of acitivities together. I would like do not have a lot of brazillian students in my class, but ok.
