Interview with Laura O´Campo
Why did you decide to send your child to St Peter´s school?
Because we were told that they teach more spanish than the other schools we visited.
Are you happy with your choice?
Yes, the kids are ok, they learning new things everyday and they are making new friends.
How much research did you do into the education system beforehand?
We did some research back home about international schools and also talk to local people about the education system.
How did you find the application process?
Very easy.
Do you feel your child is getting the same level of education as he/she would as you would in your native country?
Yes, plus learning another language fluently is a very important issue for us.
Why did you decide to send your child to an international school as opposed to a state school?
Because we thought the change would not be so drastically for them.

Catalan: 1 hour a week Spanish: 4 hours a week
What language do you speak to your child at home in?
Spanish and English
How well integrated do you think you are in Catalan society?
