English International School

If your child is able to attend university, here are some tips to choose around the school.

Tip 1

If you are young children, you should see a house if you know what to buy you send your children to school to be, that decision is more important than the location of your home. In the area of Marbella, there are some good A-level schools. The schools are on a high standard. The main language is English.

If your child the skills, had to go to university, I preferthe International School of Marbella (Aloha College). The system of the school has a very good entry level for the university. The school teaches, according to the IB (International Baccalaureate) system. English is the primary language.

On the international students learn to read how to write, and in an appropriate manner.

There is also a competition, but a positive atmosphere. One example is this short story contest:

College Short StoryCompetition

Aloha College Short Story Competition: International Day of the Book Aloha Children are invited from 1 year to 13, participate, and there are) 2 prices for each key stage (for the best English and the best Spanish entry. The prices are FNAC Gift Certificates The theme of the novel is "Travel".

Or her attention on drama:

Antigone

Decided after the success of Peter Pan Christmas pantomime, theater arts, the Year 12 studentsto surprise her audience once again in March with its production of the Greek tragedy Antigone by French playwright Jean Anouilh. Antigone is one of the Anoilh's "Black Plays" and is based on the version of Sophocles' classic tragedy, where the eponymous heroine of the crime, died at her dead brother, the rebel Polynicies, proper funeral rites, despite the adoption of King Creon ordered Polynicies to remain unburied and unlamented.

Anouil's play shows an authoritarian regime andreflects the injustice of World War II occupations in France. Antigone and her uncle Creon each other in this heinous royal family entanglements leads to nothing more than death and grief to confront. To describe as a tragedy Antigone, is a euphemism.

Helen Warrick and her students have worked hard this term to play a different and controversial a more mature audience turns out all the depth of our diverse talents through the study of the world managed to produce theater and several genres. Welook forward to more fun and heartwarming theatrical trailers for all our next term.

And participate at the international level in which they are, for example:

Ambassador of the Future

This year Mrs. Buis and Mrs. Mora is this a group of students from Year 10 a.m. to 12 a.m. to Milan. The reason: the register for the conference, it IMUN at the beginning of April. For those of you who do not know, stands IMUN for the International Model UnitedNations, and it is basically a scientific simulation of the United Nations that the participants about civic education aimed at effective communication, globalization and multilateral diplomacy.

In Model UN, students take on roles as diplomats and participate in a simulated meeting of an intergovernmental organization. The participants of the research a country to take on roles as diplomats, investigate international issues to discuss, debate, discuss, and develop solutions for the worldProblems.

In an attempt to get in the mood for it and after working so hard on their resolutions, our students organized an international social event, where we enjoyed a taste of all the countries we are represented in this year: Morocco, Denmark and Mexico. We are confident that all their efforts pay off now. Ciao a tutti!

Tip 2

Now about the location of future home in Spain. A perfect location, which is only 15 minutes by car to Aloha CollegeOjen. The white village has some well established and) good-looking finca (country houses. Do not be afraid of burglars, as in the urbanization of areas in Marbella. Life in the country is far more relaxing and relatively realistic.

This article is about choosing the right school. I pointed out, only two different schools, but of course there are other good systems, such as the German School in Elviria.
