My son graduated from Padworth 2 years ago. They sent him there for the A-level program, before that he studied at a British school in Moscow. Of course, the level of education that was given in the English school is significantly different from what it was before. The college itself is not very large, with very responsible and friendly teachers. Good preparation in scientific disciplines, my son took chemistry and biology to the A-level and was able to pass both subjects on A. Separately, I want to thank the Smapse Agency for providing us with such a wonderful guardian Elena. My son became very friendly with her, we still communicate.

He studied at Padworth for one year before entering the A level. Overall, I liked the school. Very good, friendly teachers. Delicious food in the dining room. But the infrastructure of the school is not the most modern. I was planning to go to Illustration and Visual Media, and I missed what Padworth had to offer. On A level he moved to Fine Arts College. A few friends remain from Padworth, they say that nothing has changed at school.

They sent a 14-year-old child to this school for the summer program. My daughter really liked the program: she said that there were interesting excursions, after the lessons they organized various events. Since the school is located close to London, there were many excursions to the city itself. For the first acquaintance with England - a good option

They chose schools for the child not far from London. Padworth liked the location and grounds. The price of the school at that time was also quite adequate. We turned to Smapse for help with the submission of documents. The child passed the entrance test and passed an interview with the director. The application was considered for about a week, after which the manager informed us that the child was accepted. We agreed almost immediately, because during the interview the school principal was very pleased with his son, and the reviews on the school were not bad. My son is graduating from college this year. Of course, because of the pandemic, the impression of studying in England turned out to be quite blurred. I can definitely say that the school has highly qualified teachers and good infrastructure, well trained for children. Of course, my son was a little lacking in excursions and some off-site activities. But it's not the college's fault, it's the timing of our studies(
