Review about OISE York Summer School
Good afternoon!
We want to say thanks for the summer trip, only my hands reached write a review.
I will say right away: the school is not accidental, very famous and prestigious, because we won’t write about it especially, and there is so much information. We liked the summer camp, and we are talking about it.
First and foremost: the daughter went abroad for the first time alone (13 years old to the girl), and we were worried by ourselves. However, childcare is up to par. There are a lot of staff in the camp, and at the exit to the groups additional educators and guides are connected, so it would be extremely difficult for someone to get lost. No lining ever arose, so we breathed out a sigh of relief.
The program is interesting, every day they come up with something new - not at lunch time with a trip, so in the evening everyone will have a quiz or talent show together, a fashion show or something else. The lessons themselves are unobtrusive, the camp is more about recreation than active study, but we were looking for this, so we are happy.
The conditions for accommodation are excellent, and the daughter spoke very well about feeding. Many have heard that British cuisine is not very - but the food was more "continental" with more familiar dishes, and specifically for the children they made some concessions for dishes such as chocolate desserts or nuggets.
We took the documents quickly, the design itself did not drag out - but here, thank you first of all, that we did everything correctly.
The trip was a success and fully recouped all the costs, the daughter is delighted! Thank you again for your work!
In Queen Ethelburga's College our eldest son is studying, that's why we decided to organize summer language courses there for our daughter. We are planning to transfer her to England. So we decided to give her an opportunity to prepare, improve command of English.
