Review about Windermere Preparatory Private Boarding School

Do you have Russian-speaking agents who can help you prepare documents for admission to the school?
Boris
(06.11.2021)
This school was recommended to us by friends living near it. Their child graduated from this school and entered the University of Miami. Since we are not American citizens, we considered the option of only full board. Before the pandemic, I was able to go see the school. I liked everything very much. The school has excellent living conditions: in a small cottage village near the main educational building. For help in the preparation of documents, they turned to the Smapps agency. We thank the manager David for providing us with samples of documents and helping with filling out questionnaires. I had to tinker a little with the documents, there were a lot of forms, and since we did everything for the first time, there were also a lot of questions. The child went to school at the end of August. The visa was obtained in Barcelona, because we are residents of Spain.
