reviews: [{"relativePublishTimeDescription":"a year ago","rating":1,"text":{"text":"As family we chose this school with the greatest hope for our daughter. What a let down. They are very interested in presenting lots of extra curriculum activities so that you are distracted from the real problems of this school. In the entire last year we had a total of 5 minutes with each teacher. 5 minutes of video call in an entire year, counted by a timer that would cut you off mid sentence. I have never seen something so bad like this. We have huge concernes for the amount of bullying that there is in that school, at the point where we are considering changing school mid year. Do yourself a favour and chose a school where you can actually have some sort of communication with the teachers. This is not the school, you will never know what they do at school. I'm not suggesting they have to talk to the parents everyday, but at least once or twice a year have parent's meeting WITHOUT a timer that cut you off, and certainly more than 5 minutes!!!! We are giving you our precious daughters, you could spare at least 10 minutes per family twice a year!!","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"As family we chose this school with the greatest hope for our daughter.
