What had the biggest impact

What stood out to me at this school was the passion that the teachers brought to the classes they taught, particularly my modern history and design teachers.

Readiness for life after school

By the time I graduated, I felt I had developed a strong academic foundation, and was prepared for university.

That's the start of one review. The rest of it, and 11 more, are part of Full Access.
