Review about The Renaissance International Canadian School
This school was chosen for our child two years ago, and while we are completely happy with everything, we definitely do not plan to change it.
The spouse at work needed to temporarily move to Italy, and they decided to send her daughter to study there, since there will be an opportunity to look after her. (I will say that supervision as such was not needed, because it is a boarding house and children are constantly on the territory). You can talk for a long time, I note the most important points:
- the school is small, only 150 people, so everyone gets attention from the teacher, teachers are not sprayed into large classes
- study in English (Italian can be taken as an elective, we did so). Italian is beautiful and good, but if you study further abroad, then English is definitely more useful.
- they are actively engaged with children after classes: there are obligatory activities, there are a lot of all sorts of circles and sections in which you can engage in if you wish. And the children are not bored, and development, again, you can learn something new.
- good living conditions, tasty food: periodically they have a barbecue or dinner in the open air (such as a common picnic), they give typical Italian dishes - they still love these spaghetti and lasagna, who will refuse for no reason)
- Well, the climate came up perfectly for our child, it catches a cold at times less than in Moscow, even if you look in the winter.
Thanks for the help in choosing and organizing the trip, we are very pleased with the Renaissance!
