Transylvania colege is the best school in the hole world.for my 8 years of learning at Transylvania colege I am so glad to have met such great teachers and to have met such great students and to be apart of a great school.i am so happy that I've got to experience these happy memories with a great class and to be apart of a great class. I'm so glad I miss you guys have a wonderful year. Review from Andrei Nistor
We enrolled our daughter at nursery level, hoping for a long collaboration over many years. During the three months she attended TC she was severely bitten multiple times by the face and on her back, to the point where she started asking us to take her “somewhere else”. We had no luck with the staff talking to us, taking any genuine measures, or coming up with strategies to monitor the child responsible or encourage better behaviour etc. Eventually we didn’t see fit for our daughter to suffer the consequences for many months to come, until the other child would have - hopefully - got “over it”. We informed the school we were taking her elsewhere and they wished us good luck. No one reached out to us since and we did not feel we were ever taken seriously. The hefty yearly fee is paid up front in September (or in monthly installments, but it’s still a yearly fee) hence I would imagine very few parents have the courage to make such a move after three months, and the institution can be as opaque as they wish as they’re still getting paid at the end of the day.
It should be called The Bullying School in Transylvania - they excel in being bullies - the children , the teachers and the director. The academic results are very poor, the buildings smell inside from mould, they are having parties and weddings in the school cafeteria in the weekends. The parents are afraid to speak and complain about teachers behavior - ignoring the kids, blaming the bullied kids, missing their classes. They have a PR firm washing them and making cute videos for marketing but its all smoke and mirrors. If you want to build the new "cocalar " in Cluj , leave your kid there, say a prayer and hire a public teacher to give him lessons after the after school.
Good school, nice teachers, very nice park outside! but too much bullying and I don't like the fact that students are allowed to smoke there! My children are in the Romanian line, quite happy with it.
