Hello! I am Alesya .. 1 year ago my daughter and I moved to Mauritius .. She went to college, but since she has white skin and does not speak French well, she has no friends at all. She is very smart, but she cries constantly because she is very lonely. I ask you for help, maybe the children of your school can write her a letter so that she understands that she is not alone in this world. Her name is Eva and she is 14 years old. Our address is Number 3, Avenue Baitka, Stanley, Rose-Hill Mauritius Zablotskaya Eva

This school was recommended to us for a consultation in the Smapse agency. We were looking for a school in Switzerland for our daughter, who was 14 at the time. We considered schools in the French-speaking part, since my daughter has been learning French since the age of 9, and we planned a higher education in France. I want to thank the company for organizing our visits to schools. On the trip we were accompanied by a Russian-speaking driver, who also helped with the translation. Everything was wonderful. We looked at 3 schools that fit our needs and budget. Monte Rosa was the last school we visited, so at the time of the visit, we had something to compare it to. I really liked the staff of the school and the director Alexander. We were slowly introduced to the school, during the visit we were accompanied by a Russian-speaking schoolboy, which was not superfluous. After the visit, it was possible to personally communicate with him and find out his opinion about the school. The school is small. Children are really watched and treated as carefully as possible, as we once again saw while our daughter was in school. Also a big plus is that the school has the opportunity to learn Russian. My daughter and we had very positive impressions of studying at Monte Rosa. I sincerely hope that the school will remain as good.
