Mander, which is consistently on the list of the best educational institutions for high school students.
MPW College is ideally suited to those who are dedicated and serious-oriented, because here students are completely focused on their studies, unlike the classical educational institutions in Britain, where equal preference is given to academic success, sporting achievements and creative implementation. Studying at school takes place in a rich and intensive way, and once a week students are waited for verification tests, which are designed not only to determine progress, but also to prepare students to think quickly and be stress-resistant.

Anna is the CIS Regional Manager at MPW College London. Anna is an International University of Nature, Society and Man graduate and has been working in secondary education for more than 12 years. She thinks that reputation and recommendation are important for most schools, but the problem in the rankings is a focus only on the best students. The "average" student often does not receive additional support, which he needs more than an excellent student!
