Recife - School Report Question and Answers

What letter grade (ranging from A, excellent, to F, fail) would you assign to this school based on your overall experience? Would you choose it again?

C - I wouldn't choose it again. My older child, who will graduate here, had a fine time socially, but hasn't been challenged at all, and I feel like she'll be less prepared for college than she would have been at any other school she's attended. My younger challenges herself, so she works hard but isn't really taught a lot. I feel like the teachers have to teach down due to language restrictions and a lack of interest in learning from many students. They're from wealthy families and don't see education as being a necessary piece to their future success. I would NOT choose it again, and I would caution others. It's honestly not a horrible school, and like I mentioned before, they seem to mean well. But it just isn't a good school for expat kids based on our experience. - Mar 2023
