All in all, the EC school, accommodation and leasure activities all were great! I want to thank you for organisation of my trip. It was interesting and positive experience.

I was impressed by the adaptation system of new students at school. On my first day at EC school representatives have told us everything about the education process, how it works, organised a welcoming meeting with the school staff. All classes are extremely comfort and modern,

The host family I lived with was really great! They are so welcoming and helpful people. The have told me everything I needed about their home, transport, how it's better to reach the school.
