Great school, I have my two kids there and they are loving it.
Una escuela fantástica!! En todos los aspectos.
Great school. Proud that my kid is part of it
Good school and good facilities. It expands knowledge and helps evolve.
I really love the school. It has the best energy.
Great school! Already 10 years with our kids studying there and we couldn’t be more happy
One of the best schools my daughter attended! She is very content with it.
It is worth the money, dedicated tutors accompany you throughout your journey and help every student achieve their goals. New facilities, science labs are complete, and if something is needed the school will order it without further costs.
One of the best schools in the area. Excellent academic level and facilities. We, as parents, highly recomment this school.
It's a great school however the English speaking level there is not very good
There is no denying that the school has beautiful facilities and it should be noted it was recently purchased by a UK education group, Nord Anglia, and with it, a new corporate mindset. Not the same school as it used to be. Teacher turnover is extremely high, they even leave during the academic school year. The concern for the new owner is about the money and not the student. There are better academically challenging schools in Barcelona but Hamelin is convenient for those that live in Maresme and want their kids to continue their education in Spain, not abroad. It’s a popular school for Spanish parents who want their kids to learn English. If a native English speaker, consider going elsewhere. Report card comments in English by the teachers are written at a primary school level. Embarrassing. It's the equivalent of a restaurant with a nice interior (facilities) but the food (academics)) are not commendable.
It is an school with only material values, in recent years it has grown to 5 lines per course, which makes close monitoring of each student not possible. Low teacher salaries makes teacher turnover very high each year. The level of teachers in some subjects is very low because they don't even have the qualification to practice as teachers. By the way, the food is horrible and expensive, 220€ per month. You have to pay absolutely for all kind of things. Is a factory of money with not values.
Teachers are very mean between them. The school directors don't even care about the children. They just think about the money and the parents as clients. The views are amazing but the facilities quite poor. Dust everywhere and old/recycled material. Too expensive. Bad treatment.
The English language level is very poor for a so called language school and the general class content is not to a very high level. Class sizes are too large, 25 kids. Management is terrible and the whole school is just seen a cash-cow for the owners. Everything seems fine as long as there are no problems, but once there is a problem it is like dealing with a used-car salesman or insurance company. They also charge extra for everything possible at exorbitant rates. 40 euros for a bus ride to a free museum, during school hours, for example. They also show cartoons to the younger kids during the lunch break which is unforgivable. It is a shame because the facilities and most of the teachers are great, just being used the wrong way.
very bad responsability and organisation of the study in carantin online.
Es solo una fabrica monetaria con unnulo interes en el bienestar del alumnado. En cuanto expones algun. problema lo toman personal contra tu hijo.
Solo es un negocio más.
