Review about OISE Boston Summer School
In Boston, I was on a business trip, because of the American cities where to send my son, he was chosen.
The camp did not disappoint: excellent conditions for children, comfortable and at the same time modern. There is a lot of greenery on the campus, but the interior is up-to-date, everything is new. Traditionally, American schools have a lot of attention to sports - right on the campus, all kinds of venues and almost stadiums, professional trainers work. The entertainment program also did not lag behind, many activities were aimed at additional learning English lessons (such as quiz games, scrabble championships, skits and mini-theater), so this, I think, is an additional bonus for teaching children.
Thank you for organizing your trip, it was easy and professional to work with you.
