What People Are Saying

“The Ecole’s innovative approach to education and its dedicated teachers taught me to think both critically and creatively. The Ecole also pushed me to take responsibility for my education. I left the Ecole not only with skills that allowed me to excel academically but also with a joy of learning and intense curiosity that has lasted to this day.”

Dr. Djahane Salehabadi, University of Freiburg

“Our son hated school and for sure wanted nothing to do with college. He came home for Christmas after his first term at the Ecole knowing where he wanted to go to University, and what he wanted to study. He was able to follow his dream and has since earned an MBA."

— Jim, Father of Mats

“No other place has offered me the same lessons in living a balanced life, keeping an open mind, building relationships, and developing problem-solving skills – all attributes I credit for a happy and contented life today.”

— Sia Yiu, Dow Chemical COmpany
