Marina and Edgar Landsberg, Latvia
“My name is Marina. I am a mother of Marks who is attending Year 9 at Brook Hill International School. Our family came from Riga, Latvia. Before coming to Serbia, we have spent six years in Moscow, Russia, where Marks has started to go to school. He has attended French school in Central Moscow for two years. When we came to Serbia, Marks was eight years old and he didn’t know a word in English. We needed to choose a school for him and we’ve chosen Brook Hill for several reasons:
– it was international school with Cambridge curriculum;
– the sizes of classes were small and an individual approach could be
provided to every student;
– we liked the location of the school in the green and quiet
surroundings.
Now Marks has been attending Brook Hill for already six years and he is very satisfied with his school life – there are professional teachers, nice students and the language barrier disappeared in few months after Marks started to go to Brook Hill.When the pandemic started there was no problem for school and students as well to move to online learning model and now I can say there is no big difference between on-site and online learning models in the field of quality of teaching.The school addresses my son’s individual needs – it was possible to move from Year 3 to Year 5 (skipping Year 4) when the class teacher and Marks felt that he is already good enough in English and is ready to
move to the group of his age.After being with Brook Hill for so many years we are sure that choosing this school is the best choice and we are ready to sent Marks’ younger brother to Brook Hill when his time to start school life will come! :)”
Marks, Year 9 student
“I like a few things about Brook Hill. I think that the teachers are quite nice and professional and it is pretty much always fun to go to school partially because of them. I also think that the subjects are all very effective and it is quite easy to learn. I especially enjoy the time table as all of the classes are separated by 5 minute breaks and there are 2 large breaks in each school day. All in all I like the school and I think it is very effective at
teaching students subjects while also not being boring.”
