Family grade: 3.7

Anonymous family (Marbella) grade:


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. Upper school was a disaster in my opinion, bad communication, and my son was desperately unhappy there. Grade: 5.0

Boy (16 yrs):(Upper school) Hated it-hated the building, the noise, the teachers, the director. Grade: 1.0

Girl (11 yrs):(Lower school) It was good in some ways but the teachers yelled too much and could be mean. Grade: 5.0

Anonymous family (Marbella) grade:


Mom: We were there three years ago. Lower primary have Spanish helpers in the class and it really is an International School so the children had a very good International experience, meeting and playing with many different children from all sorts of countries, not only the UK and Spain. However if you have good and gentle children this may not be quite right as many of the teachers and the Head/Owner are extremely authoritarian.

The school lunches were excellent however the children were forced to eat the food and at lunch time you would see lone children sitting missing their play because they had not eaten all of their food. There were also children constantly lined up in disgrace outside the school office and this heavy handed approach did not suit my youngest child. We have changed schools and she has blossomed.
