Exchange Student Testimonial
A former student said: “I chose a school year in Cambridge mainly because; I knew this was an opportunity I would only get once in a lifetime; ability to be independent, and to experience another culture and another community close by. In addition, there was also a good opportunity to improve my English, which is important for purposes of study after high school. I had also heard a lot of good things about "life" in Cambridge by former pupils, and was recommended to me to apply.”
