Westbourne School

With westbourne school began our daughter's education abroad. In the summer of 2019, for the first time, a child was sent to a summer camp at this school. The program was wonderful, the daughter really liked the school itself and the attitude of the teachers. The level of English at that time was B1 and, according to her, she was quite comfortable communicating. A year later, they planned to send her to permanent training, but the pandemic disrupted these plans. To be honest, I did not want to send a child abroad in such an incomprehensible situation, and the incidence rates in England at that time were not very good. But this year we still decided, my daughter began her studies in September. Precautions at school are observed, after arrival children sit in quarantine, take 2 tests. It is also possible to make vaccination a WHO-approved vaccine. We have not done it yet, but we plan that there will be no further difficulties with flights.

Do you have schoolership?

The eldest son entered school in 2020. Initially, they selected a not very expensive school in Europe, but on the recommendation of an employee of Smapse, they also decided to consider the UK. As a result, we were more interested in options in England. The level of training there is actually higher, and the difference in price is not so great. We were looking at school options that could give us a small discount on tuition. Based on the results of testing, Westbourne offered us a 5% discount on training. We are very grateful to the school administration and the head of Smapps for giving the child a chance to study at this beautiful educational institution!

I recommend this school to those who are looking for a small school where the child will be given maximum attention. Westbourne enrolled after the International British School in Israel. The level is strikingly different. With English, the child had no problems, since studying from the first grade in English. But mathematics and chemistry have always been difficult. We asked in advance if the school had the opportunity to take additional classes. We were assured that they would be able to organize it. And indeed, now the child is additionally engaged with school teachers 2 times a week. The staff is very attentive to the requests of parents. Questions are answered quickly. I would also like to thank our guardian Elena for her help in organizing communication with the school!

When my daughter finished the 8th grade, for the first time they thought about continuing her education at school abroad. Since there were a lot of questions, we decided to purposefully contact the educational agency for consultation. According to the reviews, we chose the Smpas agency, came to his office for a consultation. Immediately I liked the attitude of the manager: they told us in detail what options there are, listened to our wishes, offered the child to take a free English test and only after that they offered to consider several options for schools. Since English was at level A2-B1, we were asked to consider schools with strong additional support in English. As a priority option, the Westbourne school was proposed. We liked that the school is small, there are not so many Russian-speaking people. The reviews on the internet were also good. There were not many photos of rooms and classrooms on the Internet, we asked our manager to send more. I liked that the school very quickly responded to our request and on the same day they sent a small video, which was specially shot for us by the curator at the school.
