"'We had a fantastic time at BS! Both as a student and as parents! We really felt the engagement from the teachers and good care and flexibility from the whole school staff. Kristian has really learned a lot and has become much more mature during these two years. I hope the time he spent in this international community made him a better and more culture- sensitive person and that he will keep the friendships from the school throughout his life. Thank you very much for the great job you and the whole staff is doing every day! We really appreciate it!"
