"J'ai passé une excellente semaine"

Estelle PILATTE, student from France

J'ai beaucoup aimé ma semaine de cours à l'école Alpha School. Mon professeur Maria est une personne formidable qui a su capter notre attention tout au long de la semaine.
L'école est bien placée, à proximité des commerces (bar pour la pause café) et de la plage.
C'est une petite école mais très accueillante, le personnel est très sympathique.
