I remember spending a lot of time searching for "the perfect school", and I'm glad I chose Kings !! In the end, I stayed for a year. The staff is amazing and extremely helpful in different situations and the teachers are not only patient but also put their heart and soul into their work so that you can achieve your goals. The activities change regularly, so you will definitely find enough things that interest you and will also bring you closer to the culture.
