When I first came to Switzerland there was a very warm welcoming mood from all of the teachers
This is my first time studying business studies - this offers me a new perspective and vision on the various types of companies and business models. The school is up in the mountains in a town called Leukerbad.
The transportation is extremely good and there are so many things to do, such as swim, spa, ice skate, skateboard, minigolf, and many more. Trust me, you will enjoy your time here!

friendly. I have very interesting classmates and we have lots of fun.
We have gone to the thermal bath, played football and soccer together. I also love skateboarding and I taught my friend how to skate too. We also have the best teachers in the school. My teachers are very sympathetic and caring.
