| Qualities and characteristics best defining the school |
Our school was established to provide first-class education to a wide range of students of all ages and abilities within a supportive yet disciplined environment. We are a small school and our teaching staff offers a more personal instruction and in this way can obtain the best results for each student. We cater for primary students up to and including college students. In the pursuit of academic excellence, The O’Brien International School endeavours to provide teaching resources and student-friendly facilities. Our exam courses are designed and geared to the needs of the student and students may enrol in a course at any time during the year |
| Teaching approach of the school |
We at The O’Brien International School love to teach and we derive great satisfaction in watching a student’s eyes light up when they gain the understanding and we metaphorically see “the penny drop”. The staff at the centre work hard and we expect a good work ethic from all of our students – whatever age they are and whatever level they possess! |
