Mark 17.04.2011 Polina 06.07.2013 Good afternoon. Please tell me if there are free places for two children. Thank you in advance!

This summer, a 12-year-old child was taken here to a day camp. I really liked the school itself and the program. The classes lasted a month, and the result is really noticeable. Usually, it is difficult to get your son to do anything in the summer, but there was a rather interesting program that included not only English lessons, but also mathematics and other subjects to choose from.

Our son studied at this school for 2 years. Based on personal experience, I can say that the school has a good organization of the educational process. The child was interested in learning, we were lucky with the teachers. As for the teachers, in the last year of our son's studies, several teachers announced that they were going to leave. Apparently, because of financial issues. But, in general, it was felt that the school was developing. Furniture and equipment were constantly updated. It was clear that the administration was eager to invest in the school and develop it.

This year, my 15-year-old son was transferred here to study. Before that, he studied at the American Academy, but we were no longer satisfied with the level of education in this school, so the decision to transfer was overdue. On the recommendation of consultant Smaps, Elena decided to consider ISOP. Since we live in Cyprus, the agency arranged for us a personal meeting with the school principal. Compared to our previous school, ISOP seemed much more modern and better organized. On the same day, the child was tested and two days later we were informed that they were ready to take our son to school. So far, a little less than two months have passed since the beginning of the school year, but I can already say that the school has a wonderful organization of the educational process (we have something to compare with), it is easy to contact teachers and get feedback. And in general, the staff is very professional and polite. So far, I like everything.
