International School Costa Brava - Platja d'Aro i S'Agaró, Girona

Отличная школа, с комфортной атмосферой и индивидуальным подходом к каждому ребенку! Обучение ведётся на английском, в том числе в ESO, в то время как в других английских школах с 12 лет обучение на каталонском (Sant Jorge Girona). Расписание учебного года строится по английскому времени, занятия заканчиваются в 15:45. Помещения все отремонтированы, светлые и просторные! Огромная территория в несколько Га, собственный стадион, в будущем году будет построен бассейн. Бережно хранит историческое наследие Испании. Все преподаватели носители английского языка, очень отзывчивые и доброжелательные! Для детей с проблемами развития существует адаптированная программа обучения. Мой сын пришел практически с нулевым знанием английского и ему был выделен личный преподаватель, пока уровень английского не поднялся до нужного уровня! Ребенок идет в школу с огромным удовольствием и желанием учиться! Очень рекомендую нашу школу, причем, имейте ввиду - есть лист ожидания и легко в нее уже не попасть! Записывайтесь заранее!

We are proud to be part of this welcoming and close-knit school community, as teacher and as students. A wonderfully unique school in a beautiful setting.

Having been in this wonderfully unique school community since its creation, it has been amazing to not only see the incredible growth of our student and staff population, but also that of our facilities and general sense of belonging. The school has always been a welcoming and understanding environment, as the primary beliefs and core values of the school all surround personal growth and student centered learning. The deeply passionate staff contribute to the fostering of both academic and personal achievements as well as the feeling of inclusivity felt throughout the school. The positive atmosphere and obvious collaboration both within the school and to its community (as well as all of the above) will help to ensure that the school and its alumni create a strong and lasting legacy.

Gran escola amb un tracte molt personalitzat i amable. Es una molt bona opció per introduir els nens i nenes en un entorn internacional com el del món actual

A school that puts great importance to the unicef rights of children. I would definitely choose this school over the private schools in Girona, 2 of which I have seen children being treated disrespectfully and where punishment is used daily. This school is very respectful to the children and the children are very happy.

This school is new but has a lot of detemination to become the best english speaking school in the area. It has met that expectation and more. The teachers teach the subjects in a way that evn the most challanged student understands it, each person gets individual attention and a freindly learning equipment. The school is international, but everyone gets along, fun culture merges emerge almost regurarly. Some students have problems with english, spanish or catalan, there are free programs to help your child in school. There are 3 different levels for spanish and catalan and 2 different levels for english and french. Do you want for your kid to have exelent IGSCE results and do A-levels without spending a fortune on tutors or extra education courses? Do you want to live in a peacful seaside town? If the anser is yes then this marvelous school is for you.
My daughter is studying in this school. She likes to study here. We have been studying here since 2020. Before that, we studied at the Sant George school, which is located in Girona. In my opinion, there are shortcomings in our school, but where are they not? Therefore, I write only about my experience. My child is happy, goes to school with pleasure, although there were tears and resentment and misunderstanding with classmates. But when I suggested that she change schools, she flatly refused. We stayed here. If the child is happy, it has a positive effect on his health and academic performance. Stress and problems in adulthood will be enough.

The school is very new, small and badly organised. Teachers are young and inexperienced. The forest is not really a forest as advertised, but a small clump of trees. Different classes are not allowed to use the facilities at different times, which was confusing and which i complained about, and which they then rectified. The school is constantly being redone, with equipment and classrooms being moved around, equipment and technology not being available as advertised on the website . Term times changed twice, and the beginning of autumn Term was delayed by 2 weeks, which to me was very unprofessional and incredible!

The teaching is done in english, but very strange to me is that most of the students in Year 6 and below dont speak english well at all! So how can they learn? My son, in a class of 18, only had 3 other fluent english speakers to make friends with. Most of the class was Russian.

However, the biggest point i have to make is that this school does very little about racism and bullying. My son, and 2 other children, were consistently bullied there and despite my many complaints, the school did very little, and the bullying continued and escalated into racism. This of course is unacceptable. I was forced to complain to the anti racism hotline authorities and other authorities to resolve the situation, as the school was impotent in doing anything about it. Other parents were forced to gather force and became quite angry with the schools lack of action which led to a showdown with the school.

The school then threatened me with legal action if i went on social media sharing this information! This was quite incredible! The most heartbreaking thing for me was when i asked my son what he wanted most in life, and he said to me, ''' to not have xxx (bullys name) at the school.''

I am now looking for other schools where bullying and racism are dealt with effectively and well, in order to create a safe, secure, non intimidating environment, and where professional and experienced teachers can handle students and teach well in an established, ordered, safe environment. This school does not do this at all, and now has a track record for it with quite a few children.

If you care about your childs emotional and mental well being, and want a safe, secure environment, do not send your child here.

This is the only place where all students walk into school with a huge smile on their faces ready to start their day. Congratulations ISCB for having this uniquely positive effect on the students.
