International Student Quote
"After a long time studying at Nayland College, I have found it extremely enjoyable. There are so many things that are different to what I have experienced in Vietnam. Firstly, at school, I only need to study 6 subjects and I can choose my favourite subjects out of so many different ones, so it is really good for my further studying. Secondly, school is from 9 am to 3 pm so after school I have plenty of free time for outdoor activities such as: hanging out with friends, playing sports…etc. Thirdly, the teaching style is very modern. In class, I can discuss with teachers to solve the problem or even play games to make the learning process so interesting. Lastly, the homestay family are so amazing. I always feel like a part of the family. We did many activities together like going on trips in school holidays, cooking and playing games. So I would recommend this school to all of you who are keen on exploring and studying aboard because you will have an opportunity to experience a new culture, a mordern education system and to make new friends from all over the world."
