Mom: I just switched my daughter from Mayfair to Swans one month ago , also because I found that the level of teaching wasn't up to my standard. When I had a look at Swans and saw what they offered there for the same money I felt cheated by Mayfair. Mayfair should be costing half if you compare the installations, there is just no comparison.
There were lots of thefts in Mayfair, mobiles, mp3 etc. Kids smoking in the breaks, teachers looking the other way.
I can only tell you that I am over the moon with Swans, they seem to be much more professional, they have more home work and they need to study more then in Mayfair, but that's ok, they are in school after all to study and learn, right?
Over all I wish that I send her to Swan's sooner, can only recommend this school!

Girl: When the headmaster first arrived to this school, he said that he wanted to make Swans the best school of Costa del Sol. But the teachers are the ones that make the school the best, not the headmaster, and the only thing that the headmaster has done is replace teachers and make the rest of the teachers fear him as they could easily get fired. As a consequence of this, teachers are worrying more about not getting fired, by the pressure that the headmaster is putting on them, instead of focusing on teaching.
The headmaster has focusing more on the external appearances of the school and non-academic problems, such as uniform. He is not bothering with the students that need more support because he is to busy focusing with the good students, and he is not considering the feelings of those students and the teachers.

Mom: The lower school has traditionally done a good job with perhaps a bit too much aggression on the part of the director. Good parents, lots of local professionals choose Swans international. Upper school was a disaster in my opinion, bad communication, and my son was desperately unhappy there.
