Son's evaluation: This is an amazing English school that I go to and I learn a lot. I have a lot of fun at the same time. There might be a lot of homework in Spanish lessons but I am strong in Spanish so that does not bother me. (February 2009) Grade: 10

Daughter's evaluation: I say Laude San Pedro is a fine school where you learn quite a lot and the teachers are strict but also very nice. What I don't like is about this school is the food. The kids don't like it but still the teachers make them eat it. (February 2009) Grade: 7.0

Mom's evaluation:Despite the changes the school has undergone in it´s ownership, I am still very happy with Laude. My kids have been in primary for the last 3 years and I cannot complain about their general education. They have been going to school eagerly since the beginning. The teachers are open and friendly and the school facilities are high in quality. As in any school, there are still complaints. My biggest peev is that there is no Parent-Teacher association in this school, which as an involved parent is a bit frustrating. The quality of the school meals is average, which is not expected considering the high fees we pay. Compared to a typical school in the UK or the US, the turnover for teachers is high, but I believe this happens a lot in all the schools on the coast. Still, the school is new and I give it a bit of slack for all its growing pains. Our children are doing well, plus it´s very close to home so we hardly have a commute. When I compare my children´s level of reading and math skills to others who live either here or in the US they are either on par or exceed the levels of their peers. Laude San Pedro is about half Spanish half English and other nationalities, so it´s nice to have a mix of cultures. Bullying is not tolerated at the school and what I see s far are nice children.

Dad's evaluation: Laude San Pedro is a British school that opened only five years ago, under the name of Kings' college. The school went through a few changes in its corporate structure a couple of years ago. That brought a level of instability to the institution, but did not have any noticeable incidence on the level of education, at least for the children in primary. The school offers new, modern and functional facilities in a friendly atmosphere. Since it is a new school, it is not easy assessing the average level of the students objectively. However, our kids enjoy their school very much and are growing happily and confidently, so it must be worth the high cost of the tuition fees... (February 2009) Grade: 8.0
