I'd sent my three kids at Cambridge House British International School. My experience was absolutely great! I didn't choose the school only for academic purposes, but also for the warmth of the staff.

My son has been at Cambridge House all his school life, and I can say that it is a wonderful school, full of possibilities. He is graduating this year and going on to higher education in the USA, and the dedication and commitment of his teachers to his learning has had a big part to play. In addition, since being part of Globeducate, students can enjoy exciting experiences with students from other schools in the group around the world, from sports to music to debate and research. I would definitely recommend it, also because of the warmth of the community.

My son has been at the school for nearly 2 years and is extremely happy. The quality of teachers is fantastic. The school is making improvements to the facilities which is needed.

I have to say that recently Cambridge House has been gathering a lot of negative feedback. It is true that it is in a period of transition after being bought by Globeducate, but this is all leading to what I can see to be a positive move for the school. My children have been in this school for 3 years (now is the secondary) and I couldn’t be more happier. The staff are amazing and the school has not lost its character and warmth. From my knowledge only 2 staff left last year, and the staff seem to be a solid team.
As for devices, I feel it is a shame that parents voted not to introduce personal devices into school, mainly within the secondary. However, despite what other reviews say, the management listened and decided not to ask students to bring a device.
The school now has brand new state of the art science labs, and 2 innovation centers for more creative learning. Since the... read full review

As parents of students at this center we are very concerned with the direction this school is taking since it was acquired by the Gloveducate group a year ago.
They do not have enough teachers to attend classes for all groups, they are drastically reducing staff, of the few teachers who remain, many are taking leave, I suppose due to discontent, and this added to the exaggerated policy of constant increases in monthly fees every anus.
Not being able to manage the above, they also intend to establish an education system based on laptop computers for each child (paid for by parents, of course), where students spend most of their class time in front of a screen and then from home. having to continue in front of the computer to do homework. This teaching method is being withdrawn from most of the best-rated countries in terms of the educational system, since the damage it causes to s... read full review

It's not what it used to be.
I have to evaluate this school very negatively since it was acquired by the Globeducate group. Our experience and opinion (shared by many parents of students) is that it is a center that invests a lot in advertising marketing, but very little in teaching staff and psycho-pedagogical respurces, despite what they advertise on their website.
Teachers change constantly because they leave as soon as they can and the opinions of parents do not count for anything. We are cash cows to be squeezed more and more knowing that the last thing we want is to take our children out of school where they have their friends.
The Globeducate group, to which the center belongs, is implementing an education system, against the parents' will, in which each child has a laptop and spends more than 45% of the time in front of a screen starting on Year 9. That is pushed agai... read full review
