Have you actually seen their "new" building?

Beside?> They told me they will be sharing the same building. Was I misinformed? Maybe I'll have to go check it out again.

You are right. They are in the same building, but they are totally separated from the other school. Besides, they have the old Highgate teachers and students and my children are very happy.

We still have a couple of years to go but I didn't like that Rainbow - I had looked at it before Highgate had moved there - has no real yard. Had I still been in Brooklyn that would be acceptable but in Nicosia no. I also don't like that they do share with the other school. I did like Highgate when I had taken a look at it before they moved. I hope they will move again before it's time for us to go.

OK. If they move again, we'll move with them. As for me, it is not the premises which counts, but the people !

I consider everything especially when it comes to the kids and when it's private. Sorry, I was really disappointed that they moved there instead of somewhere with more space and that they actually have to share the building with that particular school which I wouldn't even consider even if it was free.

I am only saying this in the hopes that as a parent you can mention it to the right people so that they will start looking for a more appropriate location that matches their educational excellence.
