Attention deserves a legend about the foundation of the school: at the end of the XIV century, literally on the road in the small town of Sevenoks, an infant was discovered.

I study IB program at Sevenoaks School. I chose this program as it's recognized everywhere and decided to get a higher education in the USA, at the University of Pennsylvania. IB program is accepted around the world and is highly rated.
Since I already studied in England for a long time, I had no difficulties with the language barrier. Study abroad, especially in the UK, is amazing. There is a lot of independence here - you can not shirk, because you can not pass the exams and will be expelled. Teachers are very attentive: on the one hand they give us a great opportunity for independence, for self-expression, and on the other hand, they are always ready to help, explain once again, to give a personal lesson or some additional activities. I really like lessons on the theory of knowledge (this is an obligatory subject on IB): in addition to the fact that the course itself is quite interesting, I think it will be very useful at the university.
Thanks to the company Smapse, which organized my studying! Everything was done at the highest level and in a short time! Special thanks for your patience with the consulate: I could not decide when it would be convenient for me to come to the visa application, and the consultants shown great patience with me.))
