Parents

  “We have now got two children at school with a 3rd waiting should we be here long enough. We have found the school one of the best things about being in Colombia.  We have made friends here; we have always felt welcome.  The school has always listened and acted on anything we have suggested or been concerned about.  I think for an expatriate family to come and find somewhere that is like a family set-up with people who are from the same country or who are going through the same sorts of settling in and living problems is wonderful.  We will be very sorry when it is time to go.
