Testimonial

Benjamin Rubattel When I arrived in New Zealand, I felt immediately like I was in my own country. My homestay family and the school environment helped me to feel very comfortable. I met many people from all around the world during my stay. I discovered the wonders of New Zealand thanks to the school trips and by myself, enjoying trips with friends which I had made principally at school. My English level has progressed a lot, I enjoyed the Crown courses with many different great and competent teachers and also I improved my communication skills by hanging out and using my English for my whole New Zealand life. I have kept in touch with some people that I met there and they have became some of my best friends.
