We decided to send our son, Anton Shapiro, to study abroad because at a certain point we felt that we were losing control over him, and a huge gap was forming between us. To restore relations with his son and foster independence in him, it was decided to send him to study in the UK. Our first choice was Sherborne International College. This is a good private school where many Muscovites study, but this fact was the main reason for transferring the child to another place. My son, of course, really liked it there, he was glad to have new Russian-speaking friends, the proximity of the city, and somewhat forgot about the purpose of his trip to the UK.
Therefore, we decided to transfer him to Glenalmond College, where there are few Russian-speaking students, which is good for complete immersion and adaptation in another country. At the moment, Anton has been studying there for a year. This school meets our requirements. The long distance from the city provides peace of mind for us and complete safety for the child. Of course, there were difficulties, but most likely not during the adaptation period, but due to the fact that the British education system does not provide for shirking from school, which our children are accustomed to in Russia. Once a semester we receive feedback on our child's progress.
Glenalmond College has a fairly strict discipline, and the influence of the Catholic cultural tradition is noticeable. The school places emphasis on developing the child's spiritual values. The only negative is the not very pleasant climatic conditions, but otherwise Anton likes everything. We visited this school ourselves and it made a good impression on us. Beautiful scenery combined with a friendly atmosphere and high academic performance.
